What Can You Do on Solana?
Explore the diverse ecosystem of applications built on Solana's high-performance blockchain
NFTs
Collect digital art, music, and other unique assets on marketplaces like Magic Eden
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are unique digital assets that represent ownership of a specific item. On Solana, NFTs are faster and cheaper to mint and trade compared to other blockchains. Popular Solana NFT marketplaces include Magic Eden, Solanart, and Metaplex.
DeFi
Trade tokens, provide liquidity, and earn yield on platforms like Jupiter and Raydium
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications on Solana allow you to trade tokens, provide liquidity to earn fees, lend assets for interest, and more. Popular Solana DeFi platforms include Jupiter (aggregator), Raydium (DEX), and Mango Markets (margin trading).
Staking
Earn passive income by staking your SOL tokens to help secure the network
Staking is the process of locking up your SOL tokens to support the network's security and operations. In return, you earn staking rewards. You can stake directly with validators or use liquid staking solutions like Marinade Finance or Lido, which give you a token representing your staked SOL.
Gaming
Play blockchain games with true ownership of in-game assets and rewards
Blockchain games on Solana offer true ownership of in-game assets, play-to-earn mechanics, and interoperability between games. Popular Solana games include Star Atlas (space MMO), Aurory (RPG), and DeGods (NFT game).
Commerce
Shop online with instant, low-fee payments using Solana Pay
Solana Pay enables merchants to accept SOL and other Solana tokens as payment with near-instant settlement and minimal fees. It's ideal for both online and physical stores, offering QR code payments and programmable commerce features.
