Degens are flocking to the Solana blockchain for a few key reasons that align perfectly with their fast-paced, high-risk, and high-reward mentality. The insane transaction speeds and ultra-low fees make Solana a go-to for anyone looking to move quickly without burning through their profits on gas fees.
I am using Solana, not as a degen, and i can confirm that transactions can happen in a split of a second, which is like the digital equivalent of a crypto day trader on Red Bull.

The Solana Saga phone gave holders exclusive airdrops like USDC, BONK, and SAMO, adding value to offset the phone’s cost. I knew Seeker holders wouldn’t get as many airdrops since the memecoin boom is cooling, but I was hoping for a few surprises!
I’ve already received some — like Holdium, which I sold for $4 worth of $SOL. Then came $HAPPY (sold for $7 in $SOL) and $GRUMPY. I wasn’t too excited about $GRUMPY at first, but the next day, it pumped 46,290% while I…
