Born in 2020, Solana is still one of the leading layer-1 blockchains. Besides, SOL is also in the top 10 cryptocurrencies with the largest market capitalization with about 8.2 billion USD.
In an interview with TechCrunch about Solana’s potential in the future, co-founder Raj Gokal believes that the blockchain has enough potential to become the “Apple of crypto.”
According to Gokal, Apple’s success is due to its relentless focus on user experience and performance. He believes that Solana has this same focus and is working to create a network that is like the regular Internet but a whole new financial Internet. Gokal claims that creating a seamless user experience is the key to the success of any platform, whether it’s a smartphone or a blockchain network.
Solana has also been creating new products and services that make it easier for users to access crypto platforms and applications. One of these products is the Saga smartphone, which hit the market in April this year with a starting price of $1000.
By making cryptocurrency more accessible through Saga smartphones, Solana is aiming to attract a wider audience into the industry. This is essential for the growth and adoption of the industry, as it will help increase the number of users and businesses participating in the ecosystem.
Roj Gokal also announced Solana is aiming for 10 to 100x growth through partnerships with small and medium infrastructure projects; instead of investing in a big project that has a clear direction.
