• Solana’s TVL is at its highest level since October 2022.
• The chain’s DEX trading volume recently touched its year-to-date high.

Solana’s [SOL] decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem has experienced a surge of activity in the past two months, with its total value locked (TVL) reaching its highest point since the year began, according to data from DeFiLlama.

At press time, Solana’s TVL was $1.30 billion. The last time the network’s TVL was this high was in  October 2022.

For context, as of 1st January, the network’s TVL was a mere $210 million, showing that Solana’s TVL has witnessed a year-to-date (YTD) growth of 519%. 

Over the past month alone, Solana’s DeFi vertical has witnessed an impressive 130% growth. This is in tandem with the network-wide growth that the Layer 1 (L1) blockchain network has seen within that period.

Leading DeFi protocols on Solana, such as Marinade Finance, Jito, and Marginfi, have witnessed respective TVL growths of 87%, 55%, and 165% in the last 30 days.

Solana aims to close the year with a bang

The month so far has seen a remarkable uptick in the demand for the network. An assessment of the chain’s network activity revealed that its daily count of active addresses climbed to a YTD high of 1.26 million on 17th December. 

While this has seen a slight retracement, Solana’s daily active address count has increased by 157% since the beginning of the month.
