Introduction

Solana is an open-source blockchain used for smart contracts and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) (dApps). The Solana blockchain's SOL token is a security token and medium of exchange.

Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal created Solana in 2017. Yakovenko, now CEO of Solana Lab, wanted to improve blockchain processing speeds.

Method

I utilized the solana.core.fact_events table to determine the number of distinct programs, and then I estimated the number of transactions and the number of times each program was used per day to determine how popular each program is.

I found 10 distinct popular applications by joining the solana.core.fact_events and solana.core.dim_labels tables, and I computed the total number of transactions for each program.

Analysis

In this PIE Chart the most poplar program base on most use by users are shown.

Conclusion

Raydium is the most popular amongst of Solana unique users by about 57% of transactions since 2022 to date, that followed by jupiter with about 14% of transactions count.

Q92. One way to track developer growth in an ecosystem is through the number of unique contracts used. Create a visualization of the number of unique programs used per day since the beginning of January.

• What type of programs are the most popular?
• and what programs seem to be gaining in popularity over that timeframe?
• Does it appear that development is still ongoing in the bear market?
