【Crypto World】2025 has been a rollercoaster for Solana. At the beginning of the year, meme coins like BONK and TRUMP surged, once pushing Solana into the spotlight. However, as the bribery scandal involving Libra co-founders was exposed, market enthusiasm gradually cooled. But this period was not without highlights — the Solana Mobile Seeker phone was launched, a device designed specifically for on-chain transactions with plenty of potential.
Even more exciting is the upcoming Alpenglow upgrade. This upgrade will achieve sub-second transaction finality and significantly reduce validator operating costs, representing another qualitative leap in Solana’s performance. The logic behind it is clear: through technical optimizations, it continues to solidify its position as a high-performance, developer-friendly blockchain. In today’s increasingly competitive DeFi landscape, such technical accumulation is key to the ecosystem’s long-term competitiveness.
