Solana steals the spotlight
The rise in NFT transactions on Solana was driven by trading volume across Solana's NFT-based trading platforms, Magic Eden and Metaplex, whose market shares increased the overall NFT space this month.
The recent increase in Solana blockchain activity can also be attributed to y00ts active on the Solana blockchain, which generated over $10.5 million in trading volume.
Solana steals the spotlight:
Data from DappRadar indicated that y00ts overtook leading NFT groups, such as Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), and Ethereum Domain Naming Service (ENS) over the past week.
The rise of NFT in Solana's ecosystem comes after battles with several downtimes, even during a bear market.
According to Messari, Solana has expanded more than 2,000 nodes, demonstrating the fixes brought by the development team.
It should be noted that operating a contract on Solana is costly due to transaction fees or auditor revenue.
Solana's low transaction fees compared to Ethereum's have encouraged its emergence.
Earlier this month, the Helium Internet of Things (IoT) blockchain network launched a proposal seeking a full transition to Solana in a bid to improve operational efficiency and scalability while phasing out its own blockchain.
The voting process is currently underway to move Helium Oracles and migrate Helium cryptocurrencies and governance to the Solana blockchain and is expected to pass soon.
