With the recent price rally, Solana has extended its monthly gains to more than 80%. Also, Solana is now outperforming all other top ten cryptocurrencies with more than 350% gains year-to-date.

SOL is experiencing a notable surge as the Solana project endeavors to distance itself from its association with the discredited former crypto magnate Sam Bankman-Fried. A contributing factor to SOL’s rise is attributed to Solana’s impressive track record of operational performance, having encountered only a single network outage in 2023 compared to 14 incidents in the previous year
