The Solana ecosystem is blooming, seeing a significant resurgence as its total value locked (TVL) in its network has surpassed the $2 billion mark. This is a notable recovery from December’s starting point of $688 million, marking a 200% increase in just two months.
According to data from DefiLlama, the current TVL on Solana stands at $2.028 billion, a figure last witnessed in June 2022. Liquid staking and yield-generating protocols Jito, Marinade, and Marginfi are behind the recent uptick.
