Comparison and discussion
As can be seen from the graphs below, SOL is more popular than mSOL in terms of number of wallets involved as well as amount of deposits.
This is because:
- first, SOL is dominant token in Solana blockchain. The circulating supply of SOL is 100 times more than mSOL.
- second, one who stake SOL in a platform and is a msol holder probably use other platforms/tools for additional profit. Adoption of users who got used to another platforms are less likely than users who are searching for a platform for the first time.
