Top Solana Ecosystem Tokens by Market Cap

Solana is one of the top blockchains which is thriving within the DeFi & NFT space, currently ranked as the ninth largest asset according to market capitalization. It is a public, open-sourced blockchain that intends to offer scalable smart contracts within the limits of decentralization and in a secured environment.

Founded in 2017,  the protocol works on the combination of Proof-of-Stake & Proof-of-History mechanism that aims to offer high transaction speed, while being cost-effective. Solana recently released a weekly blog shedding light on the upcoming key mainnet developments. 

The platform proposed an ‘off-chain Message Signing’ with a hardware wallet which could enable other features like log-in with a wallet or providing ownership over a wallet without a transaction, etc. 

Another major upgrade that was confirmed recently is the release of ‘Seahorse’ which is a framework for developing Solana programs on python. The upgrade is powered by Anchor Protocol which aims to gather 100 million developers on Solana.
