**Solana's SOL Token Sees Volatility Amid Network Growth**

Solana's native token, SOL, dipped 9% after hitting $161.80 on Sept. 29, reflecting a broader altcoin market correction. Despite this, SOL has surged 10.4% over the past month, maintaining its position as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

Key highlights include Solana's low transaction fees at $0.02, compared to Ethereum's $2.50. This has driven network usage, with DApp volumes up 46% in the past week.

With new projects like Gameshift and the upcoming Seeker smartphone, analysts see potential for SOL to rise 120%, possibly hitting $180. Investors remain optimistic about Solana's scalability and institutional adoption.
