Here's how Solana plans to win millions of users

Solana creator Anatoly Yakovenko was recently interviewed on Token Terminal’s YouTube channel. It was an opportunity for him to talk about the great capacities of his blockchain. He said the Ethereum rival can meet global requirements.

Here’s what Solana (SOL) is missing for global adoption

Earlier this month, Anatoly Yakovenko argued that Solana remains solid despite the FTX affair. Now, he says Ethereum’s rival is capable of meeting the needs of hundreds of millions of users. Solana could thus handle global blockchain requirements. Yakovenko maintained that he sees this blockchain well “manage all the needs of the world“.

The founder explained:Because when you look at today’s bandwidth infrastructure around data centers, gigabit is the free tier. You get a box they give you a gigabit for free and it costs less than a dollar per terabyte of output right now so bandwidth is ridiculously cheap right now“.

He added : “Every couple of years there’s a new generation, so from my perspective I think we can handle hundreds of millions of users already and we have plenty of capacity“. However, Yakovenko acknowledges that Ethereum’s rival does not yet have the necessary applications for global adoption. He indeed stated:We do not yet have the applications to attract these users“.

Yakovenko cited a few growth drivers that can drive blockchain adoption by more people. In particular, he talked about the Helium IoT device network which recently successfully migrated to the Solana blockchain. He also cited the Hivemapper platform, which is a decentralized map building tool.

Helium has created nearly a million IoT (Internet of Things) hotspots, that’s really cool. Think about the virtual tokens circulating between people with crypto impacting the physical world, there’s literally almost a million antennas generated from that, and they’re going to try to do the same with the 5G“, explained the creator of Solana.

Solana has launched several major projects since the beginning of the year. In particular, there was the launch of a carbon emissions tracker. That said, the SOL token is currently trading around $21.
