Solana is a high-performance layer 1 blockchain that prioritizes low fees, scalability, and fast transaction finality. The network uses a proof of stake (PoS) consensus mechanism coupled with its own proprietary Proof of History (PoH) consensus mechanism. The network has smart contract capabilities, which allow for dApps, DeFi, and NFTs. Tokens built on Solana are SPL tokens, whereas Ethereum tokens utilize the ERC20 standard. SOL is the native token of the network and used to pay nodes in a cluster to run onchain programs, validate their outputs, stake/secure the network, and transact. Solana smart contracts support code in Rust and C/C++.

The L2 ecosystem has evolved into a complex landscape, with over $17B in market value and $50B in secured assets. While traditionally seen as high-beta plays on Ethereum, no L2 token achieved a beta higher than 1.0 relative to ETH in 2024. Furthermore, token dilution significantly impacted the sector, with a 1% increase in circulating supply corresponding to a 1.4% decrease in returns.

The Zeta core team is building Bullet, an ultra-low latency rollup for high-frequency trading (HFT) that will serve as the infrastructure for the next generation of the perps DEX, Zeta X, with an expected mainnet launch in Q1 2025. With Bullet and Zeta X, the Zeta team aims to overcome the technical limitations it has faced on the Solana L1. Architecturally, Zeta X will be more similar to Hyperliquid than Jupiter and Drift. We believe ZEX offers an attractive small-cap bet with significant upside, but with several execution risks.
