Against the backdrop of the growing popularity of meme-coins, the Solana blockchain has recorded an absolute record in terms of the number of coins created in a month. In May, 455,000 new tokens were deployed in the network. Its closest competitor Base has 177,000. Since the beginning of the year, 1.1 million tokens have been created on Solana.
Popularity, high speed, low cost, and a large community are the advantages that have made Solana the choice of many new projects, especially memecoins. I'm not a big fan of these memecoins, as most of them will fail and disappear with investors' money, but they also add to Solana's vibrancy, generate transaction fees, and support SOL price on the market.
I'm looking forward to the restaking wave from Ethereum to Solana to help DeFi on Solana grow and drive the development of the entire ecosystem in the coming months. Solana's strength should be used for projects that truly have value for users in major trends such as RWA, GameFi, and SocialFi..., which is the foundation for Solana to continue to compete with Ethereum.
