- Solana’s recent downtime has raised doubts, but Solana’s resilient ecosystem has surpassed TVL records.
- Despite the decline in sentiment, the price of SOL rose.
The recent downtime of the Solana (SOL) network has raised concerns among skeptics about the future of the network and its ecosystem.
Solana moves forward
But even amid these doubts, the Solana ecosystem seemed resilient and thriving. Recent data shows that Solana surpassed its previous Total Value Locked (TVL) record on January 1st.
As of the latest update, TVL, measured in USD and SOL, has reached its highest point since November 2022, indicating solid performance despite recent challenges.

This increase in TVL not only reflects positively on the network’s financial health, but also positions Solana for further development and expansion.
If you look at social
Despite TVL’s growth, overall sentiment surrounding Solana continued to decline. This suggested that, on the social side, there was still a negative narrative around the network.
These negative emotions could have a detrimental effect on Solana’s prospects. This may lead investors to approach the platform with caution, potentially leading to reduced investment inflows and withdrawals of existing funds.
Additionally, the erosion of trust between users due to negative chat can discourage new users from joining the ecosystem and cause existing users to reconsider their participation.
Additionally, a weakened community support system and the potential reluctance of developers to build on the platform could hinder Solana’s ability to foster a vibrant ecosystem.

This decline in sentiment also affected Solana’s NFT sales. This was evident in the Solana Blue Chip Collection, which saw a huge decline last month.
Additionally, the floor value of these NFTs also declined during this period. Reduced interest in NFTs could have a negative impact on the network, which could also negatively impact the price of SOL.
