Mapping out Solana's ecosystem

John Dantoni

Quick Take

  • Solana is a blockchain platform designed for high throughput and decentralized applications

  • Solana advocates argue that one of the benefits to its network is that it can scale without breaking composability or the need for sharding, whereas, with Ethereum, layer-2 solutions and sharding will break or at least limit the composability of smart contracts

  • In total, The Block has identified 90 projects and companies across 11 different verticals currently expanding on its ecosystem.
