Solana Solstice 2021: a throwback

The SOL team pointed out that the network has seen widespread adoption and usage in 2021. In January 2021, when the year started, the SOL token was new with only 360 global validators. On the other hand, now there are more than 1,331 global validators on the entire network.

The entire SOL network had only 70 projects in January, while right now, the thriving ecosystem has around 5,145 live projects. With the launch of the metaplex, the SOL network was able to host NFT minting. In January, there were zero NFTs, while now, there are nearly 5 million total NFTs on the platform. 

The total value locked in the Solana ecosystem stood at $100 million in January 2021 but pushed way above $11.4 billion as of December 2021. Nearly 1.6 billion of this volume has been staked. 

Compared to January, when the number of transactions was just 10 billion, the number of transactions as of now stands above 45.5 billion. 

Are great announcements coming soon?

The month of December has been rock solid for Solana as well as Allbridge announced a bridge from Fantom to Solana. Furthermore, Mini Royale was the first multiplayer game to be launched on the network. 
"Twitch co-founder Justin Kan launched a gaming NFT marketplace using Solana. And finally, Michael Jordan and his son came to Solana to launch the "Heir" community platform," said the official blog. 
The Solana team also said that more promising announcements are coming soon and that investors should stay put.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
