Investor interest in Solana (SOL) has surged after the network launched its real-time data portal for tracking carbon emissions from the blockchain. SOL's price has increased by almost 4% in the past 24 hours and its market cap has risen to $8.6 billion, a significant increase of $312 million in just 24 hours. The new dashboard provides a means to stay up-to-date with network metrics such as energy consumption, emissions, and network power intensity, which has positively impacted SOL's value. The number of daily active addresses on the network has also surged to 266,940, indicating growth and adoption. However, SOL's technical analysis is currently showing a predominantly bearish sentiment, and SOL's price may encounter resistance at critical levels, potentially leading to a price pullback.
Solana Experiences 3% Rise In 24 Hours
Solana has experienced a major price correction in the past week, but has shown signs of resurgence with a 3% recovery in the past 24 hours. This could be due to the recent developments in the Solana ecosystem, including Helium's migration to the Solana blockchain and Grayscale Investments' Solana Trust commencing trading. Helium's migration to Solana is expected to make the platform faster and cheaper and provide access to a larger pool of developers. Meanwhile, the Solana Trust allows investors to gain exposure to the token without owning it directly. The token is trading a bullish signal above its 50-day Simple Moving Average, providing hope for a long-term bullish run. Solana's support levels are $20.50 and $20, while resistance levels are $23.20, $23.50, and $24.20.

Solana Leads the Way With Real-time Carbon Emissions Dashboard for Blockchain Networks
Blockchain network Solana has become the first major smart contract blockchain to provide real-time measurement of its carbon emissions. The Solana Foundation will regularly update a dashboard with environmental metrics including energy consumption, carbon footprint and network power intensity. The dashboard, which is created in collaboration with carbon data platform Trycarbonara, will gather data from on-chain metrics and a sample of Solana validators to provide a more precise measurement of the network's energy consumption. Solana policy lead Amira Valliani hopes the initiative will encourage other blockchain networks to disclose their carbon footprint. Environmental impact is a pressing issue for the blockchain sector because of the huge amounts of energy consumed. While Ethereum has reduced its estimated carbon footprint by 99.99% via a switch to proof-of-stake, Bitcoin's energy consumption has attracted controversy for its impact on the environment. A Texas bill was recently passed to limit the ability of Bitcoin miners to access energy during demand spikes.
