According to external sources, the recent rise in market sentiment in Solana is not only a rebound in prices, but also a parallel to the rise in network upgrading, governance proposals and chain activity. According to the article, these changes are allowing the market to reassess the asset appeal of SOL and Solana ' s position in the chain-trading market.
Upgrade expected to drive attention back litres
The article mentions that Solana has recently received attention, partly as a result of several network improvements. Upgrading, including Alpenglow, is considered to continue to compress the transaction recognition time and to enhance the efficiency of chain processing. At the same time, efficiency optimizations such as p-tokeen have landed, with the goal of allowing individual blocks to carry more transactions.
As stated in the text, the final confirmation time for Solana ' s transactions is expected to be further shortened once the upgrade is completed. Anza CEO Brennan Watt also indicated that Alpenglow, Agave 4.2 and both governance proposals are expected to move forward this year. If these updates are implemented as planned, Solana ' s high-frequency transaction and chain application capacity may continue to increase.
Two proposals focused on SOL supply
Another reason for the improvement in market sentiment is attributed to the expected adjustment of the SOL currency economy. The SIMD-0550 and SIMD-0553 referred to in the text refer to the rate of decline in inflation and the mechanisms for the destruction of transaction costs, respectively.
Of these, SIMD-0550 was presented by Helius Engineer Lostin, with the goal of increasing the rate of deinflation of SOL to 30% and of bringing the network to 1.5% of the end inflation rate earlier. The article estimates that this adjustment could reduce the issuance of approximately $1.36 billion in tokens.
SIMD-0553 plans to increase the base cost and destroy the related costs based on the calculation of the resources consumed by the transaction. According to the article, if implemented on an estimated basis, the mechanism could destroy up to 9,000 SOLs per day. For the market, the significance of such arrangements is that the higher the use of the chain, the greater the destruction of SOL.
Silent Wallet Return, DeFi Trading Structure Change
The article also mentioned that older wallets, which had been inactive for more than a year, had recently re-engaged in chain transactions, reaching tens of thousands of levels. This is seen as a sign of a rise in Solana DeFi activity. Previously, the market had usually linked the return of such wallets to a rise in the temperature of speculative transactions, especially memecoin.
However, it is not considered that this revolving flow should be limited to memecoin. More than before, the structure of short-term speculation has also expanded in recent transactions of monetized assets in the Solana chain. According to the article, the currencyized asset week trade in the DeFi market had risen to a new high of $1.2 billion, or about 11 per cent of all spot transactions in Solana.
This means that while the financial activity of the Solana chain has recovered, the structure of the transaction can change. The article judges that market attention is moving from a single memecoin boom to a more mature chain of assets and transactions. In the case of SOL, the real re-pricing of the market beyond the price rebound may be its ability to carry trades and applications.
