All the latest news, airdrops and bounties

Hey there 👋,

Welcome to This Week In Solana, bringing you all the top news, airdrops and bounties.

Cat themed memecoins on Solana are currently blowing up, and we have a ton of liquidity about to be injected into the Solana ecosystem with a number of large airdrops coming over the next month.

Let’s get to the action.

Cheers!
