Report: Solana (SOL) Becoming a Force to Challenge Ethereum in NFT Markets

DappRadar, a platform that provides information and insights about all the existing decentralized applications (DApps), has stated that Solana (SOL) could potentially surpass Ethereum (ETH) as the leading blockchain in the non-fungible tokens (NFT) markets due to its low gas fees and entry barriers.

In a new report, DappRadar reveals that Solana is recording outstanding performance in the NFT space despite the overwhelming downturn in the crypto market.

Although there is a decline in the trading volume of other blockchains, including Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL) trading volume has been increasing, says DappRadar.

Incumbent blockchains such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and Polygon (MATIC) suffered heavy losses of 41%, 22%, and 59%. While absolute, the low point was reached for Flow and Ronin, which saw a pullback of 71% and 84%…

The same could not be said for the rest of the blockchains, which suffered losses of up to 75%…

“Although Ethereum has historically been the primary blockchain for NFTs, Solana has been growing as a viable alternative for new NFT projects due to relatively low gas fees and low barriers to entry.

“Magic Eden, the leading marketplace for Solana-based NFTs, has seen a record influx of traders due to the launch of many successful Solana-based collections like Okay Bears. The Solana marketplace DApp boasts 0% listing fees and only 2% trading fees. This quarter, Magic Eden accounted for 10% of all NFTs transactions.”
