Active Wallets
With the broader cryptocurrency market showing signs of recovery, Solana has experienced a resurgence in active users. Although there was a noticeable peak in user activity around December and early January, the number of active wallets has since stabilized, maintaining a consistent user base through February. This stabilization suggests that despite market fluctuations, Solana has retained a core group of dedicated users.

Leading Apps
NFTs
The Solana Floor Index indicates that NFT prices have plateaued, reflecting a market focusing more on DeFi points farming and meme coin trading rather than NFT investments.
Mad Lads has solidified its position as a leading collection within the Solana NFT space, filling the void left by DeGods' departure over a year ago.
Magic Eden and TensorTrade have been competing for the top spot in NFT marketplace activity. TensorTrade gained traction by promoting an NFT points trading meta, which encouraged rapid trading and led to Magic Eden's loss in market share.
In response, Magic Eden introduced the Diamond Drop program, rewarding active users with Diamonds to foster loyalty and stimulate future platform activity. The anticipation of a potential airdrop has spurred a secondary market for Diamonds, even in the absence of a confirmed airdrop date on Whales Market
