Solana momentum continues to build as the team puts more distance between themselves and the toxic FTX environment.

On Jan. 31, Solana’s co-founders published a blog post outlining their vision for a decentralized future. The pair touted Solana’s high throughput claiming that matches that of the New York Stock Exchange and will push crypto potential even further.

Furthermore, some of the bear market activity and metrics were highlighted. These include a large increase in the number of Solana validators last year. There is also a second validator client created by a third party being tested. It boasts a whopping 0.6 million transactions per second in a test environment.

SOL prices have surged 12% over the past twelve hours. The coin climbed from $22.64 to hit an intraday high of $25.64 before cooling off slightly but holding above $25.
