Solana reached a major milestone with the launch of Firedancer on its mainnet, a high-performance validator client developed by Jump Crypto. Firedancer has concluded controlled testing that took many months. It is finally ready for production and helps enhance network speed and stability and decentralization.

This had a positive effect on the market, with the SOL seeing a gain of around 5%, moving closer to the $140 mark. This is a sign of renewed confidence among investors, as Firedancer helps to improve the reliability of Solana in DeFi, NFTs, games, and institutions.

However, Bitget has introduced UEX, which is a trading service that allows its 100 million+ users to trade any Solana-based token instantly without having to wait for the listing of such assets on a traditional exchange. This resolves significant barriers to entry for traders who get direct access to newly issued assets without compromising security or liquidity.
In this way, UEX smoothes the listing threshold, combining the speeds of DeFi with the scale of a centralized exchange, ensuring earlier market access and wider token discovery. Solana projects gain immediate visibility, while users gain rapid, unrestricted access to new crypto opportunities.
Moreover, the crypto analyst, Don, revealed that Solana (SOL) is currently moving in a corrective phase after a strong prior uptrend. Price is trading within a descending channel, printing lower highs and lower lows, while the turquoise moving average continues to act as dynamic resistance. Bearish momentum is still present, but it is slowing as price tests the lower boundary of the structure.

Price is holding a well-established rising support, indicating strong demand and possible basing. If this support holds and the price breaks above the descending channel, upside targets sit around 146 first, then 205–230 in an extended move. A clean breakdown below support would invalidate this setup and open the door toward the 115–120 downside zone.
