On-chain data shows that during the same week last year, the Solana ecosystem experienced a wave of popularity. During that period, token projects launched by Trump and his wife attracted attention, with Trump's wife's token project generating tens of millions of dollars in profit opportunities for holders. At the same time, Solana's on-chain data hit a historic high of $293. What's even more noteworthy is that the top Meme coin trading tool Photon alone reached a weekly trading fee of $30.6 million. At that time, Meme coin launchpads like Pumpfun also demonstrated strong market vitality. These data points are enough to illustrate that Solana's ecosystem heat and trading activity during that period indeed experienced an extraordinary journey.

The SOL wave was truly amazing, looking back now it all seems unbelievable. --- Pumpfun's transaction fees skyrocketed at that time, the entire ecosystem felt like it was on steroids. --- The Trump Token wave was really a textbook example of a rug pull. --- $293, it feels like it just happened yesterday, I almost forgot. --- Over 30 million in transaction fees for meme coin trading tools? Who's earning this money? --- That period, the SOL ecosystem was really active. Now it feels cold and dull. --- So it means the bull market benefits from last year are gone now. --- Photon fees are so high, indicating the market was indeed crazy.

That wave last year was truly crazy, with Photon earning over 30 million in fees in a single week... Thinking back now, it still feels a bit like a dream.

Sol was really wild back then, Photon had over 30 million in fees in a week, that number is a bit outrageous.

Bro, that period was crazy. Photon had 30.6 million in fees in a single week? I just want to ask, who else can handle that?

actually, let's break this down through the lens of ecosystem dynamics—those trump token plays were basically a paradigm shift for retail onboarding, but ngl the real story is photon doing 30m in fees weekly. that's insane volume concentration right there.

Damn, I really missed that wave feast. Now it's too late to regret. Back then, Photon had a weekly fee of 30.6 million, Pumpfun was going crazy, and I was just idling. The high point was $293, and now thinking about it, I can't help but bang my head. The Solana ecosystem really has a temper; it heats up when hot and cools down when cool. Last year's Trump effect, tens of millions in gains just slipped away, and I really can't see through it. The tool fees for Meme coins have exceeded ten million, which shows what? It shows there are a lot of people. Is there still a chance now, everyone? Or have we already missed the best window?
