Solana DeFi is years ahead of most L1s
Continuous tech improvement driven by user demand and feedback is likely a key factor
Having a focused team aligned on a single vision also plays a crucial role.
The points above are a big reason why they were able to ship & scale the below in <4yrs👇
#1 DEX micro infra
local fee mkts
priority fees
prop amms
parallel dex execution
optimized aggregators
complete validator rewrite via firedancer
now 1m tps easy
async validator rotation
native accounts
spl asset composability
capital efficient liquid staking
#1 fdn support
#1 in BD/growth for apps / infra
#1 dev velocity (outpaced ETH)
#1 in fee generation
dex vol dominance
isolated hardware storage via saga
Probably missing a bunch more
These are the aspects that come up as we’ve built and launched both $zenBTC & $zenZEC within @zenrock and get asked why we chose @solana as our hub
with the UNI fee switch happening, it made me reflect on how much the DEX landscape has changed in crypto
if u told me Solana wld be leading the industry in DEX infra and mechanism design 3 years ago I wldve laughed
Meteora is like the Uniswap of Solana and they've powered some of the biggest coin launches and launchpads of the past year including $TRUMP
Kinda crazy to me that $MET is only $400M FDV while generating half of Uniswap's annualized fees
I’ve partnered with @MeteoriteCol before and believe me they’re cooking
