Solana hype? I don't think so because the solana blockchain is really fast and other project developers are currently using the solana blockchain, this is what is driving solana's price up.
their transaction capacity is 50,000 per second CMIIW and with this the Solana platform can help usher in a new generation of scalable blockchain based programs with real world utility.
Besides that, the platform's advantages in speed and transaction capacity can help maintain momentum so that they stay strong and get noticed by others and most importantly, their gas is quite friendly and this makes them loved and in demand.
