Happy #SolanaSolstice! Let’s start the celebrations. 🥳 As the Solana ecosystem marks the close of 2021, it’s a great time to look back and see just how far it’s come. In January, the Solana network was still new. There were only 360 global validators. ☀️Now there are 1,331. In January, there were 70 projects in the Solana ecosystem. ☀️This #SolanaSolstice, the ecosystem is thriving. There are 5,145. In January, there were no NFTs on Solana. ☀️2021 saw the launch of Metaplex and an explosion of NFTs. More than 5 million total NFTs have been minted on Solana. In January, Solana’s total value locked was $100m. ☀️Today, it’s $11.4b total value locked — with $1.6b of that in stake pools. In January, there were 10,000,000,000 total transactions on Solana. ☀️By #SolanaSolstice, there were 45,500,750,478.
