Starting in 2026, Solana's performance can be described as bizarre—its price shrank by 34% last year, but on-chain data is firing on all cylinders.

This is not hype. The average TPS remains stable around 1100, a 34% year-over-year increase, directly surpassing BSC (which is around 130). From a performance perspective, Solana is a dominant presence at the L1 layer.

Even more outrageous is the resurgence of Memecoin. In less than seven days into the new year, the entire sector's market cap has surged by 30%. The Bonk token saw a weekly increase of 58%, and launchpad trading volume skyrocketed to $228 million, with one platform capturing 73% of the traffic—traffic concentration is extremely exaggerated.

Currently, Solana controls 15% of the total Memecoin market cap, with the top two issuing platforms nearly monopolizing 97% of transactions. This is not just dominance at the data level but resembles a traffic reshuffle within the ecosystem.

Speed, traffic, and sentiment are all warming up simultaneously in the new year. Some say this year is a turning point; prices have been suppressed by fundamentals for too long, and perhaps this time, the gap will finally start to close. Should we take a gamble?

SOL3,64%

BONK-1,11%

The performance data is so impressive, yet the price is sleeping. The market probably hasn't reacted yet. --- Memecoin is疯狂吸血 on Sol, and this wave of traffic dividends really can't be sustained. --- TPS outperforms other chains, but whether the price recovers depends on sentiment. It's a bit awkward. --- 97% of traffic is集中在两个平台? The level of centralization is a bit outrageous. --- Fell 34% last year and now wants to turn around. Having just fundamentals isn't enough; it still depends on whether it can break psychological barriers. --- Everyone was excited when Bonk rose 58%, but whether this can continue is truly uncertain. --- On-chain prosperity is real, but when will the gap between coin price and activity level be filled? --- It all depends on whether Memecoin's热度 can be转化成生态粘性, otherwise it’s just a fleeting moment. --- Such a high concentration of traffic actually carries risks. If one platform crashes, the entire army could be wiped out. --- Speed is indeed an advantage, but the price suppression for so long isn't without reason.

It has been proven that TPS data doesn't lie—1100 stable operation, this protocol architecture advantage is truly outstanding. The divergence between price and fundamentals... I remember when I last reviewed losses, I noticed this pattern. --- Memecoin traffic concentration is 97%... The bridge mechanism design behind this is worth a deep dive, with 73% of transactions monopolized by a single platform, security risks must be closely monitored. --- Wait, 15% of the entire Memecoin market cap is in Solana? Based on actual data, this ecosystem restructuring has already taken shape. --- The claim that prices have been suppressed for too long... Hmm, I need to look at cross-chain data before making a judgment; I can't rely on the sentiment of just one chain. --- A 34% increase in TPS directly benchmarks this, and this technical validation is on par with any L1. But traffic is concentrated on two platforms? Interoperability needs to be strengthened. --- Bonk weekly increase of 58%... Has anyone tested or provided feedback on the attack vectors? Feels too hot. --- Not to brag, but from this data dimension, Solana is indeed restructuring traffic. --- The idea of fixing the gap for the New Year is a bit romantic... Fundamentals are fundamentals, sentiment is sentiment—two different things.

ngl the memecoin renaissance on solana is giving post-digital aesthetics meets tokenomics... like watching mechanical reproduction theory unfold in real-time through smart contracts

Price is the hard currency, no matter how high TPS is, it can't be sold... But I have to say, the momentum of this meme wave is indeed fierce. --- Wait, 97% of the traffic is concentrated? Is this to monopolize or to crash, I really don't understand. --- Bonk rose 58%, I missed out, but looking at these data I am a bit tempted... Maybe try a small position to test the waters. --- Rebound in gap? Ha, I've heard that too many times, who knows if this time is real or not. --- Performance crushing BSC is a fact, but the market never cares about logic, only stories. --- Memecoin is heating up, those trash coins are probably going to cut the new leeks again. --- Speed, traffic, sentiment... sounds promising, but I’ll wait and see before making any moves. --- 34% shrinkage paired with 34% TPS growth, that’s an interesting comparison. --- Those talking about turning points are just trying to catch the bottom, don’t get caught. --- The first two platforms take 97% of the traffic, the centralization level of this ecosystem is a bit outrageous.

Prices dropped 34% but data soared. This huge gap is almost approaching irony. However, I really don't quite understand this wave of Memecoin recovery; it feels a bit like emotional warming in a casino. --- TPS outperforms BSC, no doubt, but the concentration of traffic is so high that I actually feel a bit uneasy, it’s like all chips are stacked in one basket. --- Gamble? Man, that sounds like an invitation to a casino. I think I’ll just observe for now. --- I really didn’t expect Bonk to rise 58% in a week. The recovery speed in this sector is much faster than price correction. Isn’t that a bit outrageous? --- Traffic concentration at 97%, sounds like some kind of game of thrones. The top two platforms are probably the happiest. --- Speed, traffic, and sentiment all firing on three fronts—sounds great, but it feels like something key is missing. --- Last year, a 34% decline, now talking about a turning point. I need to think about this logic; I always feel something’s off.
