A new home for traders
PineappleDEX has officially gone live on Solana, the blockchain that has been setting the pace for on-chain culture with lightning execution, dirt-cheap fees, and some of the most active communities in Web3. For traders, it’s front-row access to where the next wave of tokens, builders, and narratives break out before the rest of the market even blinks.
WHY SOLANA MATTERS?
SPEED AND SCALABILITY
Solana is one of the highest-performing blockchains in existence. It processes 3,000-4,000 transactions per second (TPS) on average, with theoretical limits of up to 65,000 TPS. Blocks finalize in less than 2 seconds, and average block times are around 400 milliseconds. This makes it ideal for fast token launches, high-frequency trades, and real-time execution without bottlenecks.
ULTRA-LOW FEES
The average transaction fee on Solana is just $0.0002 - effectively fractions of a cent. Even during peak activity, gas fees remain negligible. That means traders can scale their strategies, run frequent trades, or test new tokens without worrying about overhead. Coupled with Pineapple’s zero-fee trading environment, Solana unlocks a cost-efficient playing field where every move counts.
A MASSIVE, ACTIVE COMMUNITY
With over 2.2 million unique active addresses daily, Solana boasts one of the largest and most vibrant communities in Web3. From DeFi protocols to NFT markets and gaming ecosystems, Solana’s activity drives constant new flows of traders and liquidity. In Q1 2025 alone, Solana saw over $1.2B in NFT volume and more than 320,000 daily active NFT traders - a cultural force that ensures Pineapple listings will never be short on attention or demand.
WHAT SOLANA UNLOCKS FOR PINEAPPLE?
- Fresh traders, daily flow. Solana’s massive user base means a steady influx of new participants into Pineapple.
- Flywheel effect. Higher volumes spin back into the ecosystem, powering rewards, buybacks, and long-term platform growth.
- Boosted staking rewards. As ecosystem activity increases, $PAPPLE stakers benefit directly from revenue routing back to the community.
- Faster multichain expansion. Solana sets the pace for Pineapple’s broader expansion across ecosystems.
And we didn’t come empty-handed: the first wave of Solana pairs is already live on PineappleDEX with over 50 new tokens added today alone. You can dive in right now, explore the new listings, and see how fast and frictionless SOL trading feels inside Pineapple’s environment.
