Last week, OpenSea \u2013\u00a0the largest NFT marketplace in the game \u2013 announced that it will start integrating Solana NFTs onto its platform in April. <\/p>\n
For anyone new to the Solana universe, it\u2019s important to note that this blockchain works differently from Ethereum. For one thing, Solana is fast \u2013 really fast. To date, it\u2019s able to process 50,000 transactions per second (TPS) at just a fraction of a penny apiece. This makes it the perfect chain for DeFi projects that aim to compete with our current financial infrastructure (the TradFi stock market, for example, can currently process sub-40 \u03bcSec, or roughly 400,000 TPS). In contrast, Ethereum 1.0 only processes between 15 and 45 transactions per second, and high gas fees can deter newcomers or those who are more risk-averse from participating in the ecosystem.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, what does this all mean for NFT holders? New infrastructure leads to a whole new breed of NFTs \u2013 ones that appeal to hardcore traders and builders with their focus on utility, staking, and the metaverse. Now, with a new influx of these types of projects heading to OpenSea, it\u2019s starting to feel like another scorching hot NFT summer is right around the corner. But this time, it looks like Solana projects are uniquely positioned to lead the charge.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a quick look at some of our favorites.<\/p>\n
