The protocol offers 60 assets that you can borrow and lend across 20 pools. SLND’s market cap is only $16.8 million.

ORCA
ORCA is a Solana-based decentralized finance platform. It aims to provide users with a seamless and efficient DeFi experience by combining high-speed transactions with a wide range of financial services.
This dApp allows users to provide liquidity to various DeFi protocols and earn rewards in return. It offers staking services that allow users to earn rewards by locking ORCA. Additionally, ORCA owners have a say in the management of the platform. They can vote on proposals and changes to the protocol. This makes the Solana project a community-oriented cryptocurrency.

Magic Eden adds support for Solana NFTs
Meanwhile, NFT platform Magic Eden announced that it will support Solana’s compressed NFTs (cNFTs) to provide a cost-effective and scalable alternative to owning digital collectibles.
cNFTs differ from regular Solana NFTs because their data is compressed and stored outside of the Blockchain. Therefore, production in larger quantities is more convenient as it requires less wages.
