A thriving ecosystem

But Jupiter Exchange wasn't the only Solana protocol seeing growth. Other protocols, such as Jito, have also noticed a spike in interest. Jito is a protocol that helps handle their SOL quota.

At press time, JTO, the native token of the Jito protocol, was trading at $3.18 and its price had risen by 5.97% over the past month.

Despite the significant rise in the prices of these two tokens, social activity around the two tokens has shown negative signs over the past few weeks.

AMBCrypto data revealed that the social volume and weighted sentiment of both JTO and JUP have decreased significantly.

This indicates that despite the overall progress of these icons, they have faced a bump in the road in terms of gaining popularity across social media platforms.

It may take some time for these protocols to regain interest in the cryptocurrency sector in the future.

Although both of these protocols and tokens have declined in popularity, their progress points to the fact that the Solana network is not only benefiting from its popularity, but that its overall ecosystem is growing as well.
