Why Solana NFTs?

Solana's emergence as a leading blockchain protocol for NFTs has been underpinned by its fast transaction speeds and low fees. It is further underscored by the success of its bluechip NFT collections, which have propelled the blockchain to the forefront of the NFT sector (Degen Ape Academy, DeGods, Solana Monkey Business, Okay Bears, y00ts etc). On multiple occasions, Solana has dethroned Ethereum, overtaking the competitor in daily trading volume on several occasions. 

‍

When taking a snapshot of the last 12 months, Solana exhibited a local high at the turn of the year, posting a volume of 3,035,000 SOL on the week starting Jan 1st. Focusing on this 7 day period, familiar faces such as DeGods, y00ts and Okay Bears were the main drivers of this volume surge, as seen in the top 10 collections by volume.

‍

‍

Solana’s attributes support both decentralised exchanges and DeFi projects. As DeFi coalesced with NFTs (forming “NFTfi”) there has been an emergence of Solana NFT lending protocols. SharkyFi has surfaced as a leader in the space providing Solana NFT holders with a route to instant liquidity, earning yield and accessing financial instruments that users are accustomed to in TradFi.

‍
