# Is Solana dead? > it does not perform - only exists #SOL **Published by:** [Frederic](https://paragraph.com/@frederic.neyiwko/) **Published on:** 2022-11-16 **Categories:** sol **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@frederic.neyiwko/is-solana-dead ## Content What can we say about Solana nowadays? To be honest - nothing. Since it doesn't work even during weekends. We all know all these coins, such as NEO, Tezos, XRP, eth classic, Dash, LTC, and others stuff - they haven't died yet - they still exist. All these coins have volume, you can trade them, etc., but nothing 'specific', they do not perform; projects - awful. Can we put #SOL in the same category as above? I believe so, it may grow, however, it will grow only with 'Crypto-Trading Hamster' and their thoughts about '#SOL' so low, it will grow up. *Most used cases with #SOL are NFT Marketplaces. Since it's dead (NFT market, royalty problems; marketplaces have contract issues). FTX gone; TVL (zero?); node runners close their nodes (more network issue, though it doesn't work on weekends) Nevertheless, it has 'pros': - cheap; -fast; Hope dies last? I would suggest trying 'best of the best': Binance Smart Chain; layer 2 ethereum ## Publication Information - [Frederic](https://paragraph.com/@frederic.neyiwko/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@frederic.neyiwko/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@frederic.neyiwko): Subscribe to updates ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://paragraph.com/@frederic.neyiwko/is-solana-dead): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://paragraph.com/@frederic.neyiwko/is-solana-dead/collectors): See who has collected this post
