Solana: soon the Apple of crypto?

Launched only in 2020, Solana is one of those layer 1 blockchains that already enjoys a certain notoriety in the crypto market. During an interview, its co-founder even goes so far as to declare that Solana has all the potential to be the Apple of crypto.

Solana has all the potential to achieve Apple success

Interviewed by TechCrunch on May 29, Raj Gokal did not fail to compare Solana to the American multinational company Apple. According to him, his blockchain could very well rival the success of the specialist in hardware products. He explains that Apple’s success is based on two things:

• user experience,
• performances.

“Solana shares these two principles” he said during the interview while adding: “Creating a seamless user experience is the secret to the success of any platform, whether it’s a smartphone or a blockchain network”.

According to the blockchain co-founder, Solana has always strived to create a network “that looks like the regular internet, when it is an entirely new financial internet”. To do this, it focuses on creating a fast, efficient and scalable network. But not only ! The blockchain also strives to develop a network that is simple to use and accessible to everyone.

Solana thus provides its users with various products and services that facilitate access to platforms as well as to crypto applications of all kinds.

Would the blockchain try to compete with Apple with its “Saga”?

Saga is a web-focused Android smartphone3. It was launched in April by the Solana blockchain. Concretely, Saga allows its users to experience the use of decentralized applications differently.

Although he didn’t explicitly say so, Gokal made it clear that Solana’s Saga smartphone isn’t afraid to compete with Apple products.

For many in the crypto community, this is quite a bold vision. Only time will tell whether or not Solana will stick to her bet. Currently, the SOL token occupies eighth place by market capitalization.
