Solana signups surge to record highs while WEN token airdrop nears close

Solana, the best-performing altcoin of 2023, is experiencing a surge in signups as it enters 2024. The network has achieved its highest transaction volumes since October 2022, and daily new addresses have reached an all-time high. In January alone, over 10 million new addresses have been added, surpassing last month’s record. The popularity of Solana-based meme tokens, such as WEN, has contributed to this increase in signups. WEN is currently being airdropped to over a million users, but a significant portion of the airdrop remains unclaimed. The claim window will close tomorrow at 10 am. The WEN airdrop also serves as a test for Jupiter, Solana’s decentralized exchange aggregator, before its planned airdrop of its own governance token, JUP, later this week. This first airdrop of JUP is open to 955,000 eligible users who fulfilled the $1,000 swap volume requirement by the snapshot date in November 2023.
