Solana SOLUSD, a high-performance L1 blockchain, has made impressive strides in the decentralized exchange （DEX） ecosystem, marking new milestones in 2024.

Other blockchains like Arbitrum, Base, and Avalanche combined hold 20% of the DEX trading volume. Thorchain, Optimism, Polygon, and Blast are also notable contenders.
Raydium and Orca stand out as the most popular DEXes on the Solana SOLUSD blockchain. Data from DefiLlama reveals that Raydium increased its TVL by 20% in the last week alone. Furthermore, Solana’s SOLUSD price has skyrocketed by 600% over the past year, stabilizing above $180.
Solana SOLUSD has also experienced a remarkable 300% YTD growth in total value locked （TVL）. This surge is partly due to several critical tech upgrades, including the implementation of ZK Compression to enhance transaction performance and speed. Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz explains that these upgrades could potentially boost blockchain metrics by 10,000x. Since January 1, 2024, Solana’s dApps have seen their net TVL jump from $1.43 billion to $5.83 billion.
