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++.

Meteora’s TGE will take place on Thursday, October 23. At launch, 48% of MET’s supply will be circulating, a relatively high float compared to other notable token launches on Solana. Meteora has become a key player in Solana's DEX landscape, strengthening its distribution via Jupiter and its partnership with select launchpad partners like Believe, positioning as the go-to venue for high profile launches like TRUMP and WLFI. In our view, a P/S between 6x and 10x is most likely for MET at launch based on how RAY and ORCA have been historically priced by the market. As such, we could reasonably expect MET to trade between $450M and $1.1B after TGE (circulating market cap).

Crosschain protocols now process >$1.3T in combined annual transfer volume and secure tens of millions of user interactions, yet no single design dominates.
