I am very bullish on @solana $SOL related projects in the near future. This also includes many projects supported by @SBF_Alameda and @FTX_Official.

There is a revolution happening in front of our eyes and it’s certainly worthwhile to be a close observer.

A thread

#Solana

First things first, a few impressive facts about $SOL @solana :

Token:
Performance ytd: +1800%
Performance vs. BTC ytd: +800%

Technicals:
TPS: ~800 (at time of writing, up to 65,000 TPS possible - TPS of $ETH: ~15)
Mean confirmation time: < 2s
Avg. transaction fee: < 0.05$

Many teams are now in the process of building the necessary infrastructure for the $SOL ecosystem to be successful.

I see huge potential in being involved in these early on.

To get involved, you will need a Solana compatible wallet, e.g. http://Sollet.io  (brower add-in)

Now let’s move on to crucial DeFi infrastructure already implemented or being developed that I am aware of:

(This thread is intended for you to get an overview of interesting projects and DYOR)

Developed:
AMM/DEXs: @RaydiumProtocol @bonfida @ProjectSerum @mangomarkets
Lending/Borrowing: @Oxygen_protocol
Farming: @MarinadeFinance @DoceFinance
Web 3.0 Access/Wallets: http://sollet.io , @Ledger

There are still a lot of holes which need to filled --> opportunity.

Upcoming:
DeFi in general: @PsyOptions (options protocol) @synthetify (Synthetics) @StepFinance_ (DeFi) @solstarterorg (IDO) @solanium_io (IDO)
Oracle: @PythNetwork
Web 3.0 access/Wallets: @TorusLabs @PhantomWallet
Other: @UpBotscom (Trading bots, partnered with @FTX_Official)

What else is missing and worthwhile looking out for?

Projects with respect to:

(i) NFTs
(ii) Insurance
(iii) Market data
(iv) Individual payments

I believe these will follow once a general DeFi infrastructure is implemented, maybe not in this order though.

Personal Alpha: I believe the most important projects in the near future are about implementing general DeFi infrastructure on $SOL, as this will attract daily users to the chain. Hence, I believe oracles, synthetics, yield farming and IDO projects will be pivotal for $SOL.

We have some exciting times ahead for the $SOL ecosystem and I believe 2021 will be extremely fruitful - just look at the traction @SBF_Alameda @FTX_Official and @solana are generating.

Now is the time to do your research. Don't miss to board the train while it's still waiting

Tldr; I believe now is the time to dive into new and upcoming projects on $SOL and get involved early on. I believe the summer is going to be great for the $SOL ecosystem and @SBF_Alameda is on to great things marketing the ecosystem. I think you don't want to miss out here.
