When Arbitrum launched, its potential was largely overlooked outside developer circles. Today, it’s a cornerstone of Ethereum’s Layer-2 ecosystem, boasting a multibillion-dollar market cap to prove it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, Solana may be having its own Arbitrum moment – and it’s called Solaxy ($SOLX)<\/a>. As of Friday, its presale has surged past $29.6 million.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Solana’s longstanding network congestion has often been brushed aside by believers in its monolithic design, but recent performance says otherwise. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Solaxy steps in as the first Layer-2 built specifically for Solana, aiming to offload the burden and finally unlock the chain’s full potential for users, developers, and investors alike.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That’s why smart money is flowing in. At the current presale round, $SOLX is priced at just $0.00169 – but that window closes in eight hours before the next stage pushes the price higher.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Also, the earlier you buy the sooner you can take the chance to stake your tokens, giving you the opportunity to earn rewards that will more than double your return over a 12-month period. You can buy and stake $SOLX today<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The current staking reward is 137% but that yield changes dynamically as the deposit amount in the staking smart contract fluctuates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Layer-2s Were Ignore Until Arbitrum Exploded — Now It’s Solana’s Turn With Solaxy<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Arbitrum launched in 2021 as one of Ethereum’s first real Layer-2 scaling solutions – built to ease congestion and slash gas fees. Powered by Optimistic Rollups, it processes transactions off-chain and posts them back to Ethereum, making everything faster and cheaper.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Initially, only devs and insiders paid attention – back when the crypto space was still wrapping its head around DeFi. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But when Ethereum gas fees spiked – with average prices often exceeding 100 Gwei and surging past 500 Gwei during peak periods in 2020 and early 2021 (translating to $50–$100 per transaction for complex DeFi trades or NFT mints) – the cost and scalability issues became impossible to ignore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That’s when smart money rotated in hard – especially after the $ARB airdrop was announced in March 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Arbitrum exploded into the spotlight, becoming the most-used L2 by total value locked (TVL), with over $10 billion flowing through its ecosystem at its peak.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A similar story is unfolding on Solana – the would-be “Ethereum killer.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Just like investors couldn’t fathom Ethereum needing an L2 back then, Solaxy<\/a> is launching at a time when even Solana’s co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko claims Layer-2s aren’t necessary. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But with repeated congestion and transaction failures, the chain is showing cracks – and Solaxy is stepping in to patch them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And just like Arbitrum led the charge for Ethereum’s L2 era, Solaxy is first out the gate for Solana.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Arbitrum Scaled Ethereum, Solaxy Will Do The Same For Solana<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Solaxy<\/a> is to Solana what Arbitrum was to Ethereum – the first true Layer-2 solution built to solve a scaling issue the core community was reluctant to acknowledge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In a similar way to how Arbitrum relieved Ethereum’s clogged pipes and soaring gas fees by offloading transaction data off-chain, Solaxy is stepping in to address Solana’s recurring congestion and network instability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But here’s the twist – while Arbitrum uses Optimistic Rollups, Solaxy is tailor-made for Solana’s monolithic architecture. It operates as a seamless companion chain, processing overflow activity and pushing finalized results back to the mainnet.<\/p>\r\n
