Solana SOL/USD is an open-source as well as a high-speed blockchain platform for decentralized applications and has support for over 400 projects, some of which are in the fields of decentralized finance (DeFi), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and Web 3.0. Solana uses a consensus mechanism that is a combination of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-History (PoH).
The Nexo implementation as a catalyst for growth
Solana (SOL) has joined Nexo. This has, in turn, allowed its users to buy, swap, borrow against, and earn up to 8% interest on the SOL tokens.
Nexo is a blockchain-based lending platform that allows users to get Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), or Ripple (XRP) collateral to receive a loan in the form of FIAT money or stablecoin.
That being said, through this implementation, Nexo now lets users buy SOL instantly, and all users really have to do to buy SOL is to add their bank information within the Nexo Wallet.
The SOL market pairs that are available on Nexo are SOL/BTC, followed by SOL/ETH, SOL/USDT, SOL/USD, and even SOL/EUR and SOL/GBP.
That being said, users can grow their savings safely with up to 8% interest. This is paid out daily on SOL with what is known as Nexo’s Earn Crypto Interest suite, where the passive income generated by users will start growing the moment that they top it up.
