According to @aeyakovenko on Twitter, the Solana team continues its tradition of using creative, physics-inspired naming conventions for network updates. The latest reference alludes to a physical effect where light is compressed towards the Solana-colored (green) end of the spectrum as it approaches an observer, symbolizing potential improvements in throughput and reduced latency. For traders, this suggests that upcoming Solana network upgrades may enhance transaction speeds and efficiency, potentially impacting DeFi and NFT trading on the Solana blockchain (source: @aeyakovenko Twitter post).

According to @ameliamariec, high velocity, low or no value assets such as many memecoins primarily serve to showcase blockchain technology's speed and capacity for high engagement through rapid trading and dynamic social activity. While these memecoins are valuable for stress-testing crypto trading infrastructure, their price action is mainly driven by trader sentiment rather than fundamental value, making them a key indicator for market mood and liquidity flows (Source: @ameliamariec, May 13, 2025). Traders should monitor memecoin activity to gauge broader crypto market sentiment and potential volatility.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, Cardano is expected to transition from being recognized for its slow and steady approach to becoming one of the fastest and most stable blockchains, driven by the integration of Leios and Layer 2 solutions like Midgard (source: twitter.com/ItsDave_ADA/status/1917912188607500429). These upgrades are projected to significantly enhance Cardano's transaction throughput and scalability, making it more attractive for high-frequency traders and institutional investors seeking efficient decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities. As these developments roll out, traders should monitor Cardano’s network performance metrics and on-chain activity closely for potential trading opportunities linked to increased adoption and network utility.
