The Story Behind SOL's $72 Billion Crypto Breakthrough

 

It's a cryptocurrency based on the Solana blockchain that is now in use. When it made its debut in late summer of last year, its value surged. On January 1, 2017, the game's creator released his first concept art for Solana. ETH's long-term rival, SOL, is being mentioned as a potential long-term opponent. When compared to other Blockchains, transactions on the Solana Blockchain are significantly less expensive. Solana's blockchain has less competition for space than EtherLedger's, which is a good thing.

Transactions were suspended for 17 hours in September due to a major outage. There are those who say it was only teething pangs, while others fear that it will not be able to compete with Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. The Solana network is powered by the SOL coin. In addition to smart contracts, Solana provides a platform for decentralized financial apps and other smart contracts. Transactions on the Solana network will be highly fast and cost-effective in contrast to traditional blockchains. A 14,000 percent increase in the coin's value has taken place since the beginning of the calendar year. SOL was the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization as of the beginning of November, surpassing Bitcoin. It has a market value of less than $1 billion, yet it is more valuable than other altcoins like Cardano and Litecoin, which have market capitalizations of more than $1 billion. By selling its coins on the open source Solana network, Solana Labs raised $314 million in June.

It may be difficult to compare crypto networks due to their wide range of uses. According to Pantera Capital partner Paul Veradittakit, bitcoin ventures can be divided into many major groups. For him, Solana is the most challenging opponent when it comes to developer adoption and growth.

To boost trade, Africa is simplifying international payment systems

It's hard to transfer money between African countries. The Ghanaian king settled a bill with a Nigerian attorney. His experience highlights a systemic problem impeding Africa's economic growth: high transaction costs and inconvenience. 15% of all imports and exports occur between 55 African countries. 60% of Asian trade is within Asia. 70% in EU. The difficulty of international payments hinders African trade. There are also high tariffs, long border procedures, and congested roads. Proponents of AfCFTA say easing trade restrictions will boost trade, FDI, and economic growth. 50 million people will be lifted out of extreme poverty by 2035 due to the accord's positive impact on real income, which is projected to rise 9.1%.  Another issue: In Africa, currency values fluctuate. From July 2021 to 2022, Ghana's currency fell from 6 to 8. Volatile currencies make financial transactions more costly and risky. To overcome these problems, PAPSS facilitates financial transactions ...

How will Blockchain boost trade in Africa?

Despite a regional economic slowdown in 2020, over a dozen African countries grew last year. Complicated trade rules and lengthy border processes stifle African economies. These long-standing issues need creative solutions. Blockchain is becoming more practical and scalable in developing markets. It has just opened a regulatory "sandbox" for innovative blockchain-based goods in Ghana. Standard Bank has joined Marco Polo, a trade financing network. Here are four ways blockchain may help African trade: 1. Customs The AU-EU trade deal is still in its infancy. Traditional customs bureaucracy prevents SMEs from joining global trade networks. This procedure can be automated and simplified, saving time and money. 2. Traceability Tracking cross-border goods correctly is critical for standard and certification verification. Already, blockchain is allowing ethical supply chains for a variety of African goods. Its open-source but secure design makes certificates easy to issue and verify...
