Solana Solstice 2021: a throwback
The SOL team pointed out that the network has seen widespread adoption and usage in 2021. In January 2021, when the year started, the SOL token was new with only 360 global validators. On the other hand, now there are more than 1,331 global validators on the entire network.
The entire SOL network had only 70 projects in January, while right now, the thriving ecosystem has around 5,145 live projects. With the launch of the metaplex, the SOL network was able to host NFT minting. In January, there were zero NFTs, while now, there are nearly 5 million total NFTs on the platform.
The total value locked in the Solana ecosystem stood at $100 million in January 2021 but pushed way above $11.4 billion as of December 2021. Nearly 1.6 billion of this volume has been staked.
