Activity on Solana's DEXs has been increasing and showing strength over the past six months. A key factor behind this surge has been memecoins, which have been the most prominent narrative this year and central to Solana's growth. Many traders have chosen Solana as their preferred chain for trading memes, thanks to its relatively low transaction fees and its cohesive, non-fragmented suite of products.
Solana has also generated organic memecoin activity through the airdrop of the memecoin BONK to Solana Saga Mobile owners. As we know, BONK has become one of the leading memecoins this cycle, along with other Solana-based tokens like WIF.
As shown in the screenshot, weekly DEX traders on Solana have experienced significant growth compared to the rest of the market, reaching new all-time highs. While not entirely attributable to memecoin trading, this has likely been a key factor in the growth.
The launch and growth of pump.fun have also been crucial to the memecoin narrative on Solana. Pump.fun is a simple platform dedicated to the creation and trading of memecoins. It addresses classic issues of unfair distribution and rug pulls by ensuring each token is a fair launch, with no presale and no team allocations. Since users can create and deploy a new memecoin in about 2 minutes for 0.02 SOL, this platform has significantly expanded the memecoin trading market on Solana. Over 1.5 million new memecoins have been deployed through pump.fun, while the platform has generated more than 512K SOL in revenue (approximately $86 million).
