Introduction
π What Is Solana?
Understanding Solanaβs rapid growth requires a basic understanding of a problem proposed by Vitalik Buterin, known as the Blockchain Trilemma. It is widely understood that a blockchain can only optimize for two of three concepts: decentralisation, scalability, and security. Since 2016 layer one blockchain projects have launched attempting to solve this issue by creating chains that can maintain some degree of credible decentralization and security as well as scalability.
Solana is one such network that introduced a hybrid consensus model integrating a novel PoH (Proof of History) algorithm with PoS (Proof of Stake), giving the network a throughput claiming to rival TradFi payment processors such as Visa. Solana boosters say it represents a blockchain project capable of scaling to global demand; in numbers, Ethereum averages 13 transactions per second, whereas Solana has a theoretical throughput of 65,000 transactions per second. Solana arguably sacrificed decentralization in favor of scalability, but this has been the core factor driving the networkβs popularity as greater scalability equates to faster transactions at lower costs.
Solana has risen to prominence, and a portion of the activity on the Ethereum network has migrated to this blockchain with lower gas fees and less congestion. A key growth area is the NFT space, and this article provides the reader with everything they need to know to become an active participant in the Solana network and begin minting, trading, and selling NFTs.

π What are Solana NFTs?
In short, a Solana NFT is simply an NFT stored on the Solana blockchain.
But what does that mean, exactly? An NFT or Non-Fungible Token is a blockchain-based certificate verifying ownership. These cryptographic assets and their contained metadata are unique and, therefore, non-fungible. The concept of fungibility relates to the quality of interchangeability; a dollar can be exchanged for another dollar, a bitcoin can be exchanged for another bitcoin, and a SOL can be exchanged for another SOL; hence these items are fungible. Something which is non-fungible cannot be exchanged, and many (but not all, such as ERC-1155s) NFT are unique and individual; therefore cannot be exchanged for another.

Methodology
π To get the data, the solana.fact_nft_sales
table was first used and the data was separated with the succeeded = 'TRUE'
filter, then I joined the solana.dim_nft_metadata
table and filtered the data based on each collection of NFTs. In the following, I divided the collections into 2 parts, 'Sport Jersey' and 'Non-Sport'
, and the model that I show in the graphs below is as follows:
- SELLER Count π
- Buyers Countπ
- Sale Volume π
- Sale Number π
- Average Selleπ
- r Average Buyerπ
- s Average Sale Volumeπ
