Cambodia has one of the highest retail crypto adoption rates.
The government just blocked access to Binance, Coinbase & 14 exchanges. The war on crypto isn’t just about 'regulation' — it’s about control.
What's the scoop?
• Cambodia cited "lack of licenses" but mobile apps remain accessible despite the website restrictions.
• Only 2 firms in Cambodia's FinTech Sandbox can trade digital assets but can't exchange them for Cambodian or other fiat.

's new mobile shooter -- FTW 🔫👇
========================================
jungle_xyz’s FTW is a fast-paced mobile shooter where players can play casually or win real rewards by competing in tournaments and PVP wagering matches.
While FTW has multiple ways to play—Free-for-Alls, Team Deathmatches, and Extractions (akin to capture the flag)—its main mode is Showdown, where 10 players face off in a 3-minute Battle Royale. Here, players spawn with randomized load-outs of different heroes, weapons, and gadgets and can respawn during the first 2 minutes, battling to rack up points and buffs.
After this, the playing zone starts closing and respawns are disabled until the last player standing claims victory. Along the way, players can pick up new weapons and equipment scattered across the map. These come in four rarity levels: White, Blue, Purple, and Yellow, each offering increased power for an edge as the match progresses.
⚔️ Qualifiers (Mon-Fri): During weekdays, you can play Showdown matches for free and collect points to prepare for the weekend Finals. This mode helps you accumulate upgrades, currencies, and tickets, which will be crucial for weekend competition.
🎖Finals (Sat-Sun): The weekend Finals require one ticket per match, and only these games count toward the leaderboard for prizes. Players can win $USDC , $SOL , in-game rewards, and whitelist spots for Jungle’s Genesis mint — though you must connect your wallet and Discord to be eliglible.
Additionally, there is a Monthly Leaderboard on FTW’s Jungle Discord, where your Finals scores accumulate throughout the month. Players who perform well can qualify for boosted rewards.
How to Get Started:
Additional Features:
🎯 Auto-Aim: FTW lets you choose between manual and auto-aim in its settings. While it may burn through your bullets, personally I’d recommend auto.
💥 Hero Ultimates: Each hero has a unique ultimate ability like airstrikes, poison gas, or shock blasts, which charges up as the match goes on and you rack up more stats.
🧰 Hero and Weapon Upgrades: XP will be earned as you play, alongside crates offering unique boosts which can be used to upgrade your heroes and weapons, increasing traits like their resilience, precision, and speed.
How to Earn:
FTW’s tournaments are where the money’s made, and these events are split into Qualifiers and Finals:
📲 Download FTW: The game is available on the iOS App Store and Google Play in early access worldwide.
✅ Sign Up: Once downloaded, create your account through your email or Google.
🔗 Link Your Account: To qualify for rewards, join the Jungle Discord and complete your profile under the profile channel by linking your FTW account (a code will be provided in the app) and Solana wallet.
🏆 Join Tournaments: Participate in weekly Qualifiers to earn points, and use tickets to join the weekend Finals for a shot at the prizes.
And that's all it takes to get started here!
With mobile games feeling ripe for crypto adoption by augmenting their casual gameplay with onchain rewards, Jungle looks to be flying under the radar as a studio to watch.
Move quickly, though! The last Qualifiers for this first “Play-to-Mint” tournament end on September 27th, though we can expect more down the line.

Chapter Two Rebrands as ‘Solana Seeker’, Unveiling a Range of New Features and Enhancements
140,000 pre-orders later, Solana Mobile’s next generation web3 smartphone emerges from its ‘stealth phase’.
Solana Mobile, the team behind the wildly popular Solana Saga device, has finally unveiled the eagerly awaited Solana Seeker. The next generation web3 smartphone is slated for release in 2025, offering a host of improved features and benefits.
Following the rampant success of the sellout Solana Saga, Solana Mobile stealth-launched the mysterious ‘Chapter Two’. Despite being light on details, Solana Chapter Two was well-received by the wider crypto-community. Solana Mobile’s next generation device has already been pre-ordered over 140,000 times, with recipients eager to get their hands on fresh Solana hardware.
Both the Solana Saga and the Seeker, formerly ‘Chapter Two’ have been embraced by Solana’s mobile development community. Saga owners and Seeker Genesis token holders have been generously rewarded with a litany of airdrops, as well as a vast selection of dApps and features designed exclusively for the Solana Seeker ahead of the device’s launch.
Since its inception, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has been one of Solana Mobile’s staunchest advocates. Championing mobile devices and services as a key area of growth for the network, Yakovenko contends that the Seeker will improve on the standards set by the Saga at more accessible prices.
“We founded Solana Mobile with the mission of taking crypto mobile. To achieve that, we needed to make Seeker more accessible, more affordable, and for its hardware and software to be even more deeply integrated for web3. The support from across the Solana community so far has been incredible, and with features like the new Seed Vault Wallet and the updated Solana dApp Store, we think Seeker will be the definitive web3 mobile device when it comes out next year.” - Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana Labs co-founder
What new features can users expect from the Saga’s highly-anticipated successor?
New Phone, New Features
While the full range of improvements and hardware specifications is yet to be announced, Solana Mobile has teased the following features for the upcoming Seeker:
Seed Vault Wallet - The Seeker comes complete with a built-in self-custodial Seed Vault to provide a frictionless web3 mobile experience. Designed exclusively for the Seeker in collaboration with Solflare, the Seed Vault support double-tap transactions and simplified account management.
Solana Mobile dApp Store - Competing directly with the Apple/Google duopoly, the Solana Mobile dApp Store debuts a compelling new rewards tracker and offers enhanced discoverability for DeFi, NFTs, DePIN, Gaming, and Payments applications.
Seeker Genesis Token - A soulbound NFT, the Seeker Genesis Token is a non-transferrable asset that gives holders exclusive access to rewards, content and opportunities throughout Solana’s thriving ecosystem.
Enhanced Hardware - Seeker promises a dramatically improved build quality, boasting a superior camera, extended battery life, a lighter design, and a brighter display than its predecessor.
With 2025 just around the corner, the launch and distribution of Solana Seeker may come sooner than expected. Given the generous incentives and rewards enjoyed by Solana holders, the Solana community awaits the launch of Solana Seeker with bated breath.

Jupiter, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana, made a series of major announcements today at Solana Breakpoint 2024, the Solana ecosystem's largest annual conference. These updates include the acquisition of SolanaFM, the second-largest explorer on Solana, and Coinhall, the leading aggregator across Cosmos.
Co-founder Siong delivered a keynote address outlining the ambitious roadmap ahead for Jupiter.
Metropolis API Platform
Building on the foundation of Jupiter's existing APIs (Swap, Tokens, and Price APIs), the Metropolis API Platform makes it easier for developers to integrate with all of Solana's liquidity and build sustainable businesses. Anyone with an internet connection can leverage these APIs to streamline development and create innovative applications on Solana.
Jupiter RFQ
Deepening liquidity on Solana by connecting market makers directly to Jupiter's routing engine. This innovative feature allows market makers who primarily use exchanges like Binance to easily provide liquidity on Solana, ensuring that Jupiter consistently offers the best prices.
Jupiter Perps V2
Perps V2 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, offering a richer feature set, competitive fees, and unmatched reliability. This new version introduces limit orders, a revamped Doves oracle for enhanced pricing accuracy, and gasless transactions, ensuring a seamless and cost-effective trading experience.
With Perps V2, traders can benefit from the convenience of limit orders, the reliability of the Dove oracle, and the efficiency of gasless transactions, all backed by $600 million in JLP liquidity. This combination makes Solana the most compelling platform for perpetual contracts.
Jupiter Mobile
Jupiter Mobile is poised to revolutionize how people interact with Solana by offering a frictionless and intuitive user experience. It simplifies the onboarding process, making Solana accessible to everyone regardless of their technical expertise. Users can easily connect their existing wallets or use popular payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit cards. Additionally, Jupiter Mobile eliminates the need for complex seed phrases, making it easy for new users to get started.
The platform also offers zero platform fees, ensuring that users can enjoy cost-effective transactions without worrying about hidden charges. With its 1-tap swap feature, users can effortlessly swap tokens with just a single click, streamlining the trading process.
Ape Pro: Taking on Pump.fun
Jupiter is now making moves to capture the meme coin market by taking on the popular Pump.fun, a no-code meme coin creation platform.
Ape Pro, a massive upgrade to the existing Ape platform, is set to make meme coins fun again on Solana. It will offer a powerful, mobile-friendly trading suite that supports social logins and an easy-to-use token creation experience.
Ape Pro stands out from its competitors, such as Pump.fun, by offering lower trading fees, a seamless mobile experience, faster transactions with Google login, and a robust token creation process. With a competitive 0.5% trading fee, Ape Pro provides a cost-effective solution for traders. Its mobile optimization ensures a smooth and efficient experience on the go, while Google login simplifies the onboarding process, eliminating the need for complex seed phrases. Additionally, Ape Mint, a feature within Ape Pro, allows users to easily mint new tokens, lock liquidity for project credibility, and earn perpetual swap fees, creating a sustainable revenue stream and combatting the current PVP model in the meme coin ecosystem.
Acquisitions Signal Growth and Ambition
Jupiter's acquisition of SolanaFM, a critical infrastructure provider for the Solana ecosystem, underscores the company's commitment to strengthening it. This move will enable Jupiter to leverage SolanaFM's world-class data infrastructure to enhance its platform further.

$HONEY , $MPLX , $CROWN Lead Solana Ecosystem Token Performance During Breakpoint
Which native tokens outperformed the market during Solana Breakpoint 2024?
Solana Breakpoint delivered a bounty of massive announcements not only for Solana, but also for a host of applications and projects building in the ecosystem.
However, market dynamics don’t always line up with protocol updates. Hype and speculation can push prices up ahead of the event, only to be met with disappointing price action when teams don’t deliver the news traders are hoping to hear.
On the other hand, projects that were ignored by speculative traders can enjoy solid price appreciation when they deliver unexpected announcements.
In the eyes of the market, who were Solana Breakpoint’s best and worst performers?
Solana Breakpoint Market Dynamics
To illustrate market dynamics during Breakpoint, analysts compiled and analyzed price data from 20 key projects in the ecosystem. Tokens were shortlisted from the following criteria:
In the industry’s top 1,000 tokens by market capitalization.
Made announcements, or participated in Breakpoint panels and debates.
If not presenting at the event, proven ecosystem OGs like Orca and Raydium were included.
Other than BONK Memecoins were excluded. BONK’s inclusion is due to its announcements and significant presence at the event.
Using Step Finance data, prices were pulled from Breakpoint’s opening and compared that with the price recorded at the closure of the event.
While the market anticipated big announcements from the likes of Jupiter and Sanctum, it was the projects that no one expected updates from who performed the best. $HONEY , $MPLX , and $CROWN outperformed the market, while most of the ecosystem remained largely unchanged.
Hivemapper, the company behind $HONEY , shared impressive growth statistics. The DePIN protocol has successfully mapped over 26% of the world’s road network and now sells mapping data to three of the ten largest mapmakers.
Metaplex, one of Solana’s longest-standing infrastructure providers, held a stealthy presentation in The Pod, one of Breakpoint’s smaller spaces. During the session, Metaplex teased the upcoming launch of the Metaplex Aura Network, a mysterious new addition to Metaplex’s product suite.
Finally, Photo Finish announced that its mobile app was approved for distribution on the Apple App Store. According to Photo Finish CEO, this makes the app the world’s first real-money horse racing mobile game approved by Apple.
However, Breakpoint is a relatively short event with plenty of other dynamics influencing price movements. For example, $CLOUD’s appears to have traded sideways during Breakpoint, but it needs to be said that the asset enjoyed an impressive surge both before and after the event.
Despite stale price action throughout Breakpoint, $CLOUD is up 67% on a weekly time frame and has been one of the Solana ecosystem’s best performers, based on Step Finance data.

SOLANA BREAKPOINT: The Biggest Announcements From Day One
Hopes were high for some big announcements, but even the most devout Solana maxi wasn’t ready for this.
Over 5,700 Solana fans, users, and bulls descended on day one of Singapore Breakpoint. The biggest conference event in Solana history, Breakpoint delivered a wrath of key updates, with crucial developments announced from both native teams and institutional players.
If you weren’t at Breakpoint, here’s what you need to know:
FIREDANCER LIVE ON TESTNET
Solana users and investors alike were delighted to see Kevin Bowers, Jump Crypto’s Chief Science Officer take the stage to deliver one of the network’s most eagerly awaited updates.
Firedancer, the novel validator client promising to bring unparalleled levels of scalability, decentralization, and security to Solana, is now live on testnet.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Bowers also took the opportunity to outline the development history of the client and its evolution from Frankendancer, an experimental synergy of existing software with Jump’s new codebase, to the optimized final Firedancer product.
To rounds of raucous applause from the Solana faithful, Bowers announced that the existing Frankendancer client is now live on the Solana mainnet.
FRANKLIN TEMPLETON BUILDING ON SOLANA
While existing SOL ETF applications find themselves unlikely to be approved in the short term, that doesn’t mean that TradFi giants aren’t eager to launch Solana-based products to their institutional clients.
Franklin Templeton, one of the world’s largest financial players boasting over $1 .3T in AUM (Assets Under Management) announced its intention to launch a mutual fund on the Solana blockchain.
CITIBANK EXPLORING SOLANA
Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, and VanEck aren’t the only Wall Street players with an eye on crypto’s most performant Layer-1.
Citibank, the fourth largest bank in the United States, shared that it was exploring Solana’s potential, suggesting that seamless money transfers and advanced smart contract composability present unique opportunities in the future.
JUPITER MAKES BIG MOVES
Traditional Finance may have dominated the headlines, but Solana-native DeFi teams also commanded their fair share of the spotlight.
Jupiter co-founder Siong presented an immense range of updates coming to Jupiter’s expansive ecosystem. Crucial announcements included a refreshed v2 perps platform, the reveal of the Ape Pro memecoin trading platform, further details surrounding the Jupiter mobile wallet, and Jupiter’s acquisition of the SolanaFM explorer.
SKY, FORMERLY MakerDAO, DEPLOYS ON SOLANA
MakerDAO, one of the crypto industry’s longest standing DeFi protocols, recently rebranded to SKY, migrating its iconic decentralized stablecoin from $DAI to $USDS . Building on top of the momentum achieved with the rebrand, SKY announced a proposal to leverage Wormhole’s cross-chain infrastructure to bridge $USDS to Solana.
Reinforcing SKY’s desire to be present on the Solana network, the protocol announced an rewards campaign to incentivise deeper liquidity on the network. According to SKY governance, the maximum distribution of weekly rewards is capped at 2M $SKY .
The move helps to bring greater stability to Solana DeFi by providing a more diversified range of stablecoin assets onchain.
Continuing the trend of Solana migration, the Huma Finance PayFi network also announced its intention to launch on the network.

Anyone with an internet connection can leverage these APIs to streamline development and create innovative applications on Solana.
JUPITER RFQ
Deepening liquidity on Solana by connecting market makers directly to Jupiter's routing engine. This innovative feature allows market makers who primarily use exchanges like Binance to easily provide liquidity on Solana, ensuring that Jupiter consistently offers the best prices.
JUPITER PERPS V2
Redefining perpetual contracts on Solana with enhanced features, competitive fees, and unparalleled reliability.
Perps V2 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, offering a richer feature set, competitive fees, and unmatched reliability. This new version introduces limit orders, a revamped Doves oracle for enhanced pricing accuracy, and gasless transactions, ensuring a seamless and cost-effective trading experience.
With Perps V2, traders can benefit from the convenience of limit orders, the reliability of the Dove oracle, and the efficiency of gasless transactions, all backed by $600 million in JLP liquidity. This combination makes Solana the most compelling platform for perpetual contracts.
JUPITER MOBILE
Jupiter Mobile is poised to revolutionize how people interact with Solana by offering a frictionless and intuitive user experience.

BullVerse Update
BullPad
There have been numerous inquiries regarding BullPad, and we would like to address them. After careful consideration, the team has decided that launching BullPad at this time would not be beneficial. The market sentiment remains highly bearish, trading volumes across financial markets are low, and overall uncertainty persists. Furthermore, Pump.fun’s volume has decreased by 95% from its all-time high. All signs indicate that this is not the ideal time to release a launchpad. However, we remain fully committed to launching it when market conditions are more favorable.
BullPay
BullPay is currently in beta (available at bullpay.fun). As well-needed solution in the space, it is connected to a lot of upcoming features inisde the platform. BullPay will serve not only as a marketplace but also as a crypto payment gateway, like Stripe or PayPal for crypto transactions. We developed an API kit allowing our partners to get paid from their website or mobile app.
Activity Rewards & User Experience
We are still working on developing a sustainable, more gamified and automated solution for activity rewards. Once this is finalized, we will announce it, and automated payouts will resume.
The BullVerse Ecosystem
It’s important to note that BullVerse is a long-term project. We are continually enhancing user, partner, and community engagement. As with any major project, development will unfold progressively rather than all at once.
Communication
The team is working tirelessly behind the scenes to improve the BullVerse ecosystem daily. Many individuals are involved, and significant resources have been invested in this project. Our commitment is unwavering, and we continue to expand our network by forming strategic partnerships, which are crucial for long-term growth. The vision is clear and we are enjoying the journey.
Teasers
Our primary focus has been on laying a strong foundation by creating a stable platform that incorporates both incentives and crypto utilities. Our main goal is to deliver a clear and practical use case that attracts the visibility BullVerse deserves. As a utility project, we view this as a key driver of our success: BullVerse should not just be about content, but also a hub where crypto enthusiasts can speculate, win, lose, be rewarded, and find their community. Something exciting is coming very soon..
Bullish times are ahead,

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES TO DePIN GROWTH??
In a recent appearance at ETHToronto, Frank Mathis highlights the next steps for DePIN’s future.
GenesysGo founder Frank Mathis is no stranger to the highs and lows of crypto’s thriving DePIN sector.
Drawing on his years of experience, Mathis joined other DePIN thought leaders at ETHToronto, including Helium COO Scott Sigel, to discuss the future of the sector.
“If DePIN solves that, DePIN is inevitable”
Like many passionate crypto community members, DePIN advocates staunchly argue that DePIN is inevitable. Speaking to hundreds of crypto enthusiasts at ETHToronto, Mathis offered a refreshing point of view.
The GenesysGo founder argues that value creation for contributors is one of the most integral aspects of running successful DePIN networks. Mathis highlighted that, while DePIN promises to reward contributors as decentralized software scales, “it’s shocking how much of that is running on AWS and Google Cloud.”
For example, over 50% of Ethereum node operators are hosted on AWS, Hetzner, and OVH servers.
Reiterating the importance of wealth creation for contributors, Mathis contends “what DePIN really is, is an attempt to take one of the most centralized layers of the stack and decentralize that amongst the people such that they start to participate in the growth and success of these models.”
GenesysGo’s ShdwDrive is one such example. The decentralized storage solution empowers users to earn $SHDW tokens by providing unused mobile storage to a distributed network, directly generating income from a device that lives in their pocket.
Reflecting the ideal DePIN model proposed by Mathis, network contributors benefit from the growth and success of the platform. The GenesysGo founder reinforced this notion, opining “DePIN is only as inevitable as the value that participants in the network get from it… if DePIN solves that, DePIN is inevitable.”
POOR PERFORMANCE “ONE OF THE BIGGEST FAILINGS OF DePIN”
On paper, the benefits of DePINs are obvious. However, in practice, these platforms often sacrifice performance and scalability in favor of decentralization. While this aids in value creation for contributors and increases security, it actually hamstrings performance and growth.
DePIN is often considered the natural evolution of the sharing economy, which delivered iconic businesses like Uber and Airbnb.
Drawing parallels between the pearls of the sharing economy and emerging DePIN projects, Mathis illustrated that “Uber became highly successful, not just because you’re able to share in pieces of things you don’t use everyday.. but because it worked well, it was fast, it was easy to use.”
Mathis argues that for DePIN projects to truly take off, they need to rival the performance standards set by centralized industry leaders. Referencing his experience with GenesysGo, the founder posits “in our case, our first principle [is] decentralized storage needs to be as fast, as secure, as stable, and perform every bit as well as a traditional Web2 cloud service.”
ABSTRACTION IS KEY
The Web3 user experience has long been considered one of the industry’s biggest obstacles to adoption. The complexities of wallet management and security have discouraged newcomers to space for over a decade, and continue to repel potential users today.
Mathis insists that abstracting the end-user experience away from blockchain technology is key to the success of the industry. Reinforcing this belief, the founder affirms “Your end user shouldn’t know that they’re interacting with Web3”
Looking towards the future, Mathis considers DePIN regulation will present a significant obstacle to the sector’s growth. However, instead of taking a chagrined approach to future regulatory concerns, the GenesysGo founder suggests that DePIN projects need to take on some responsibility.

After causing significant congestion issues across the Solana network in April, the ORE mining protocol returns to “revive the long lost dream of crypto as p2p electronic cash.”
Love it or hate it, Proof-of-Work crypto mining is returning to Solana. ORE, the wildly popular mining protocol that besieged the Solana blockchain in April is returning, promising a revised and more egalitarian approach to distribution.
With ORE price climbing over 100% in anticipation of the relaunch, the question needs to be asked: What will be different this time around?
ORE v2: WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
Pseudonymous founder HardHatChad launched ORE as an experimental Solana hackathon project in April 2024. Leveraging a Proof-of-Work mining concept on a high throughput Proof-of-Stake blockchain, HardHatChad aimed to create a truly fair token launch.
In a matter of days, the Ore protocol objectively became the most used program in the Solana ecosystem at the time, generating over 12M transactions between 124k+ users.
However, due to flaws within the project’s model and network congestion issues caused by the ORE mining, HardHatChad opted to pause mining to focus on redevelopment. Despite the chaos, OreSupply took home the grand prize at the Solana Renaissance Hackathon.
After months of development work behind the scenes, HardHatChad has teased the relaunch of ORE v2. Courtesy of several key changes, the passionate founder renews his mission to “revive the long lost dream of crypto as p2p electronic cash.”
HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT:
• No Admin Variables - The revised protocol will rely on open-source algorithms to manage all program variables, such as mining difficulty.
• Mining Multipliers - Staking ORE tokens gives miners a rewards multiplier of up to 100%, based on their proportional stake. This only applies to miners submitting valid hashes and cannot be abused through flash-loans.
• Fixed supply - Like Bitcoin, ORE has a fixed maximum supply of 21M. One ORE will be issued per minute, projecting a fully emitted supply by 2064.
• Sybil Protection - In the relaunched protocol, miners will maximize rewards by submitting the most difficult hash possible. This is expected to discourage sybil miners and mitigate network congestion.
• Accessible Hash Function - A new hash function closes the performance gap between high-end hardware and consumer devices, lowering ORE mining’s barrier to entry.
• Client Software - OreSupply has revamped its software to improve performance and reliability. HardHatChad also promised to launch client software that will be compatible with the Solana Saga mobile device.
• Immutable Contract - Once mining dynamics have stabilized, the OreSupply contract will be permanently frozen, meaning that no further changes can be implemented to its code.
The OreSupply team hopes that by implementing these changes, the protocol will be better suited to wider adoption within the Solana ecosystem.
Love it or hate it, Proof-of-Work crypto mining is returning to Solana. ORE, the wildly popular mining protocol that besieged the Solana blockchain in April is returning, promising a revised and more egalitarian approach to distribution.
With ORE price climbing over 100% in anticipation of the relaunch, the question needs to be asked: What will be different this time around?

July 19th’s devastating IT outage left hundreds of businesses across the world scrambling to provide basic services. A software bug that was prematurely pushed to production wrought havoc across the globe, temporarily shutting down banks, airlines, and essential services.
Cryptocurrency may not have been a solution to this particular problem, but the event still exposed the vulnerabilities and flaws of our reliance on centralized infrastructure.
What makes DePINs more resilient than centralized alternatives and why is Solana so well-equipped to support decentralized infrastructure?
SECURITY THROUGH DECENTRALIZATION
One of the fundamental staples of the cryptocurrency industry, decentralization is key to avoiding singular points of failure. Drawing resources and infrastructure from distributed sources makes any entity vastly more robust.
Despite detractors arguing that the network is dangerously centralized, Solana has proven its critics wrong, establishing itself as one of the industry’s most decentralized blockchains. A common and admittedly simplified measure of network decentralization, Solana boasts a Nakamoto Coefficient that surpasses the bulk of its rivals.
However, where Solana gains its edge is through the development of alternative validator clients. Barring Ethereum, most Layer One blockchains rely on one sole validator client. Ironically, if a software bug was pushed to production, as was the case with the CrowdStrike outage, these blockchains could also fall victim to a complete network outage.
On the other hand, Solana is on track to eliminate this vulnerability. The network currently hosts two independent validator clients. Solana’s network resilience will go to new heights with the deployment of Jump Crypto’s Firedancer client, which completely rewrites the network into a different programming language from scratch, eliminating the risk of one bug affecting various clients.
Not only is Solana becoming more decentralized by the day, but the network’s thriving DePIN sector is witnessing unrivaled adoption.
SOLANA LEADS REAL WORLD DePIN ADOPTION
Crypto’s DePIN sector is vague. Despite deploying zero infrastructure and offering no proof-of-concept, hundreds of different projects are categorized as DePIN protocols by various blockchain data sites.
For example, CoinMarketCap’s DePIN category features over 140 different DePIN projects but includes Layer 1 blockchains like Internet Computer (ICP). DePinScan, a research tool operated by IoTeX, lists 262 DePin cryptocurrency projects. Other resources, like EV3’s depin.ninja platform, suggests over 300 DePIN protocols are being built on Ethereum alone.
With such ambiguity surrounding what defines a DePIN network, how can we track the manner in which DePINs are actually being deployed and used?
Physical Infrastructure. Among hundreds of supposed DePIN projects, which protocols can individuals see first-hand through real-world devices or Proof-of-Concept?
According to EV3, Solana-based projects dominate their competitors in terms of active node deployments, with projects like Helium, Hivemapper, and Natix each operating hundreds of thousands of devices.
Courtesy of its unmatched scalability and performance, the Solana network is a natural choice for businesses looking to deploy DePINs. In the current blockchain landscape, no other blockchain is adequately equipped to support the data transmission of hundreds of thousands of devices without suffering debilitating latency issues and gas spikes.
Additionally, Solana benefits from the widespread use of mobile devices. Solana Saga, the network’s Web 3 phone, sold out following a collaboration with BONK and the second iteration has been preordered over 140,000 times.
With the future of the internet expected to be driven by mobile-first usage, the Solana network is ideally placed to establish itself as the leading chain for DePIN protocols.
