Notably, it took Solana only two months to achieve such a milestone, which clearly shows how fast its ecosystem is growing.
For comparison, it took Ethereum, the current leader in the NFT space, three years to record its first seven-figure sale.

Gulf Stream, the blockchain’s forwarding protocol, eliminates the need for having a mempool, which makes it possible to achieve an impressive 50,000 TPS.
Hence, Solana positions itself as the first truly scalable blockchain that can rival Ethereum.
As reported by U.Today, top backer Sam Bankman-Fried said that Solana had started seeing “strong institutional demand.”
