Solana 🧵 | Dec 18, 2025:
🚨 Price Check: $SOL is currently hovering around $123–$127, down ~5% today. Analysts are eyeing the $123 support level closely—a break below could see a test of $100, but institutional inflows remain surprisingly steady. 📈
🔥 Firedancer is LIVE: After years of anticipation, the full Firedancer validator client is now active on Mainnet. This is a massive win for decentralization and network resilience, aiming to push speeds toward 1M TPS and eliminate the "single point of failure" risk. 💃
🛡️ Quantum Leap: The Solana Foundation has officially partnered with Project Eleven to launch a quantum-resistant testnet. Solana is moving first to future-proof the network against advanced computing threats. 💻🚀
