Many things are happening with Solana:

1. It has recovered from the FTX Collapse, which in reality, it was a blessing in disguise (it had way too many control on Solana and its ecosystem). It was way too punished, and it needed to do a bounceback.
2. The halting episodes have been fixed. In the last 12 months, only 1 episode, and it was in February. And the reason was a one-in-a-time bug, which means 1 year since the previous issues were solved.
3. Right now there is the annual Break Point conference. People are quite happy with what they see, while in other projects, its about exaplaining why what was promised to be delivered in 2018, will get delayed again.
4. They presented that Firedancer, the new independently developed project, was already in the testnet. And the capabilities of this new client were amazing (1.2M tx per tile using just 4 core-processors). This client was designed from zero, and it can leverage better all the developed technology until now. Its a great milestone, it will help decentralization, robustness, and it improves capacity. Also new validators could be installed in cheaper computers.
5. There has been several agreements with significant players during the last months: Visa, Amazon, Google, Shopify… It really shows that better informed players trust the project.
6. It’s the second project receiving more net Institutional money flows after Bitcoin in 2023.
7. When comparing fundamentals with other blockchains, it has an unique value proposition to solve the trilemma. Nobody achieves so much decentralization and capacity at the same time, and the gap is increasing.
