Solana’s total value locked (TVL) reached over $10 billion in November 2021, over a year after the launch. However, it fell after recurrent chain outages.

The Growing support for the Solana ecosystem has led to TVL rebounding from $1 billion in January to surpassing $4 billion today. The growth is mainly coming from staking, liquid staking, and decentralized exchanges, as per data by DefiLlama.

Moreover, SOL price rally was support initially supported by Solana-based meme coins such as dogwifhat (WIF), Bonk, Myro, and others during the meme coin frenzy. However, the price rally today is a result of Solana projects including Jupiter, Raydium, and Jito.
