Solana is really among the most scalable and lowest-cost networks out there. That's this project's selling point, and it's the reason why so many developers, users and investors have continued to flock to this platform over time. Being able to process nearly 1,000 transactions per second (and well more than that, theoretically), Solana has become a top network for decentralized exchanges and other projects focused on high-volume trading due to this network's speed, but also its rock-bottom transaction costs.

Users and developers have continued to flock to Solana, in part due to the fact that this network can handle thousands of transactions per second, at a fraction of the cost of competing networks. I'm of the view that these trends will continue to hold for the foreseeable future, though given the rate of innovation and technological development within the crypto sector, it's also entirely possible that a competing network begins to take market share over time.

"AI has been a great force multiplier for somebody who's an expert," said Yakovenko, describing his experience with agentic coding after more than 15 years developing software. "Now I can just watch Claude churning through its thing and I can almost smell when it's going off the rails."

Until this week, these investors could only buy Bitcoin and Ethereum in ETF form and, based on initial demand, at least one of the new offerings is off to a roaring start. Based on early demand, the hot new offering is an ETF that provides exposure to Solana, the sixth most popular cryptocurrency. According to Eric Balchunas, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) had the best ETF launch of 2025 in any asset class.

Every new token launch starts the same way: liquidity is added, insiders move fast, and retail traders scramble. Without automation, you're already late. Sniping is no longer a niche tactic - it is survival. Banana turned sniping into a repeatable process: Detect new pools and bonding curve migrations in real time. Filter unsafe pools with liquidity guards and anti-rug scans. Execute with MEV protection, slippage rules, and priority routing. Exit with auto-sells, limit orders, or staged DCA.

The threat actor known as 'cryptohan' has created npm packages that target the Solana cryptocurrency ecosystem and pretend to 'scan' for Solana SDK components.

Orbitt provides a single bot interface for minting tokens, deploying Raydium pools, coordinating trading bots, and triggering trending placement—all driven by carefully planned Solana RPC calls.

CEO Ishak Hassan stated, "Solana's days are numbered." Coldware's presale has rapidly accelerated, with Stage 3 contributions surpassing $6.6 million.

'The transformative rebranding of the rooftop space at the Robey hotel into Solana aims to enhance its appeal with street tacos, frozen cocktails, and engaging entertainment options.'

Staking SOL allows users to earn passive income while participating in governance, enhancing network security through the proof-of-stake mechanism.
