Solana Activity Rises Massively As DeFi Platform Plans Return, Is SOL Price $50 Next?

Solana-based decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Solend plans to improve risk management and decentralization with the Solend V2 lending and borrowing protocol.

Solend in an official blog announced the Solana V2 litepaper. The platform aims to produce an improved lending protocol Solend V2, combining the learnings from events that impacted its success. It will ship in stages over the coming months, the first of which has just begun audit.

Solana-based protocol Solend has encountered several problems due to events such as Solana blockchain outages, a $1.26 million Solend oracle exploit in November, and the FTX-Alameda Research crisis.

Solend V2 introduces features such as protected collateral, TWAP oracle, borrow weights, outflow rate limits, collateralization limits, isolated tier assets, and dynamic liquidation bonus. These features will address limitations in the Solend V1, especially resolving collateral and liquidity problems.

    Solana (SOL) is an integrated, open-source blockchain with the goal of synchronizing global information at the speed of light. Solana optimizes for latency and throughput, sacrificing some verifiability. It seeks to accomplish this through features such as its novel timestamp mechanism called Proof-of-History (PoH), block propagation protocol Turbine, and parallel transaction processing. Since mainnet launch in March 2020, several network upgrades have brought further network performance and resilience, including QUIC, stake-weighted Quality of Service (QoS), and local fee markets.

    Recently Solana experienced its first outage in over 11 months. An infinite loop was propagated across the network’s validators due to a faulty implementation inside of the core software via the Berkley Packet Filter which is the mechanism to deploy, upgrade and execute programs on Solana. Block production halted, impeding the chain’s progress (in layman’s terms, it went offline). Validators then manually verified, inside of a Google Sheet, a snapshot of the last valid block. For the chain to restart, at least 80% of validators began running the patched software for blocks to be added to the chain.
