Solana Shoves Polygon Out After Another Strong Week

Solana (SOL) has been the most performing digital asset in the top 15 this year by market capitalization and no one saw it coming following a poor run and a disastrous end of 2022.

Solana has surged 58% last week as it maintains a brilliant start this year. Recent gains recorded by SOL have seen its price spike to $23.70 entering another week with hopes of further growth. 

SOL was in turmoil in 2022 with frequent downtimes and migrating projects culminating in a horrific December with the asset falling to a two-year low of $8.17 dropping out of the top 20 coins by market cap. The recent resurgence of SOL has seen a steady climb reclaiming its spot in the top 10 digital assets.

    Solana (SOL) is an integrated, open-source blockchain with the goal of synchronizing global information at the speed of light. Solana optimizes for latency and throughput, sacrificing some verifiability. It seeks to accomplish this through features such as its novel timestamp mechanism called Proof-of-History (PoH), block propagation protocol Turbine, and parallel transaction processing. Since mainnet launch in March 2020, several network upgrades have brought further network performance and resilience, including QUIC, stake-weighted Quality of Service (QoS), and local fee markets.
