🔢Onchain Analysis
Unheard of Levels of Activity on Solana
Solana activity is up astronomically. Trading volume surpassed $40B over the last week, which is a new record.
Solana did more volume last week than Ethereum, Base and BSC combined.
On October 1st, Raydium (a top DEX on Solana) facilitated $460M in trading volume. In the last eight days, Raydium facilitated at least $3B of volume every single day.
It should be noted that the much of this volume comes from pools on coins that are memes and short-lived; however, the chain seems to have attracted a never-ending supply of these coins and they’re translating into REAL fees for a plethora of Solana dApps.
Despite previous criticisms that Solana’s cheap fees wouldn’t generate sustainable revenue, Solana continues to go toe-to-toe with the highest earning protocols in the industry. Several dApps also now round out the top 10 fee rankings.

🚜Farm of the Week
JLP - One of the best tokens in DeFi
Jupiter is one of Solana’s most widely-used apps. There are a ton of features to take advantage of and many of them are beginner friendly.
Jupiter’s Liquidity Provider Pool enables users to leverage trade, and rewards users for providing liquidity for the pool. The JLP token is made up of Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin and stablecoins. It also earns yield from trading fees and trader PnL.
How it Works
The yield fluctuates each week - with increased trading activity, APY typically goes up. APY is currently 66%.
Head to Jupiter’s app and simply swap any token to acquire JLP tokens. There’s no complicated dual-sided liquidity provision here, simply click the Buy JLP button and swap any token for JLP. You’ll begin earning yield and have an index fund of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana.
