Solana, often called the "Ethereum killer," has surged by an impressive 80% in the past month, thanks to the launch of its Firedancer testnet – a much-anticipated scaling solution. This surge has rekindled investor optimism in Solana, and its native token, SOL, has seen an 81% price increase in the last month, reaching over $41 on November 2. This recovery is significant, considering that Solana was down 84% from its all-time high. It's now emerging as a strong contender in the crypto space, outpacing even Ethereum in recent gains.
