Solana (SOL) trades at $76.2, down 1.8% over the past 30 days. Its market cap — supply times price — is $44.4B, the 7-largest in crypto. Over a year it is -62% (down), and it sits -74% from its all-time high. Total value locked on this chain is $4.8B, or 0.11x its market cap. On tradability, the book is thin, so incoming money moves the price easily. Taken together, the overall heat score is 25 (COOL). A higher number means more of the conditions for a rally are in place — it is not a price forecast.

Overview What is Solana
Solana is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain designed for mass adoption by providing a fast, secure, and low-cost environment for decentralized applications. It distinguishes itself by scaling globally without the use of complex sharding or multiple layers, instead maintaining a single, unified ledger to avoid liquidity fragmentation. This architecture allows it to process thousands of transactions per second with sub-second finality, often at a cost of less than a penny per transaction.
The network operates on a unique hybrid model that combines Proof of Stake with an innovation called Proof of History, which functions as a decentralized clock to timestamp transactions. This system reduces the need for constant node communication, allowing the Sealevel engine to run non-conflicting smart contracts in parallel across multiple CPU cores. Further efficiency is gained through the Gulf Stream protocol, which reduces confirmation times by forwarding transactions to validators before the current block is finished.
Founded in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana is now supported by the Switzerland-based Solana Foundation and significant institutional investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Polychain Capital. The platform’s native token, SOL, serves as the primary currency for paying transaction fees, participating in network governance, and securing the system through staking.
Solana has also seen significant institutional adoption ranging from spot Solana ETFs to major partnerships including Visa's 2025 launch of USDC settlement on the network and the tokenization of public equity by firms like Galaxy Digital.

Signals Catalysts currently in play (auto-extracted)
💤
Turnover is slow
24-hour volume equals 2.6% of market cap. Trading is quiet, so price moves are likely to stay contained.
🔓
Unlock in 28 days
New tokens are scheduled to unlock around 2026-09-11 (roughly $30.9M at current prices). Added supply can create short-term selling pressure, so the balance of supply and demand is worth watching.
🏔️
Far below its all-time high
Trading -74% from its all-time high. Recovering that ground would take a substantial return of demand — and a discount this large usually has a reason worth checking.
🛠️
Development is active
171 GitHub commits in the past four weeks (via CoinGecko). Steady development work supports the project's continuity.

The chain is heavily used
Recent chain fees run about $9.1M per day. Fees stand in for real usage, and this level points to an actively used chain.

Heat score Heat factor breakdown
25
How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 58 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 25. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate) gate
42
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
57
→ The trend is flat — no clear direction yet.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
100
→ Volume is deep enough that a move is one you could actually participate in.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
22
→ Little capital is locked relative to market cap, or the asset is outside TVL coverage.
Supply lightness

→ Most of the supply already circulates, so unlock pressure is light.

Reference / calculator Dilution simulator (run it on your own assumptions)
This is a calculator you drive. Every number below follows from the assumptions you set — it is not our price forecast and not a recommendation. Unlocked tokens are not necessarily sold; the defaults are one illustration among many.
Assume the unlocked tokens reach the market, and see the theoretical impact of that supply dilution on price.
Move the sliders: more selling = larger impact, more absorption = smaller impact. The impact is a rough approximation that assumes added supply dilutes price linearly, all else equal.
