solana [SOL] The ecosystem has been one of the most successful ecosystems in the crypto space over the past few months. One reason for this would be the high volume of Solana NFTs.

However, NFT volume was not being driven by blue chip collections on the Solana network.

Popular projects like Mad Lads, Solana Monkey Business, and Kleisurez saw their floor prices drop over the past week.

This indicates that NFT volume was driven by new NFTs that were being created on the Solana network that have not gained much popularity.

The interest and less popular NFTs indicate a healthy and thriving ecosystem.

However, Solana's performance in other areas, such as the DeFi sector, is also important in determining how the protocol and its ecosystem perform in the long run.

In terms of DEX (decentralized exchange) volumes, the protocol saw a huge drop in activity, going from $4 billion to $1 billion in volume.

Despite the decline in DEX volumes, TVL (Total Value Locked) on the Solana network remained largely the same.
