The Solana decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol is getting a big boost following a number of high-profile projects already built on the platform.
So far in April 2021, the SOL token, which powers the Solana blockchain and the protocol’s main decentralized exchange (DEX), Serum (SRM), has seen its price increase by more than 50%.

The pursuit of these much newer protocols is necessitated by the high gas fees on the Ethereum blockchain, which has caused builders and investors to look for cheaper alternatives.
Solana, a competitor to the Ethereum blockchain, aims to provide decentralized financing solutions at much more affordable transaction fees.
Some of the upcoming projects to watch that build on the Solana blockchain include:
SolStarter – the first Initial DEX Offering (IDO) platform for SolanaCOPE – A token project that allows traders to rank their performance and see other traders’ performance in an index. prime brokerage protocol built for the future to support 100s of millions of people ChainLink – Together with Chainlink, Solana aims to develop a high-frequency Oracle that can be used for trading binary options.
