Solana Price Declines

Solana (SOL/USD) is a blockchain network that aims to compete with DeFi giants due to its vast ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contract support, alongside its underlying Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

Some of the largest Solana non-fungible token (NFT) projects, such as DeGods and Y00ts, have moved away from Solana.

DeGods will bridge to Ethereum (ETH/USD) in Q1 of 2023, while Y00ts aims to move to Polygon (MATIC/USD) in Q1 of 2023.

Based on data from the data aggregator Terminal Token, the number of active developers for Solana’s software has decreased by over 90% in 2022. This represents the departure of 2,425 developers from the smart contract platform network.

A notable person within the crypto space, David Gokhshtein, also tweeted that Solana is dead and that the company should focus on building hardware.
