In a series of significant developments within the cryptocurrency sector, Polkadot has launched Agile Coretime, a new feature aimed at enhancing scalability and efficiency by replacing parachain leasing with on-demand blockspace. This update coincides with a 69% quarter-over-quarter increase in rollup extrinsics and an increase in the active validator set to 400. Meanwhile, Solana's DeFi platform, Drift Protocol, has achieved a new all-time high with over $900 million in deposits. Solana is also experiencing a surge in inflows, totaling $4 billion in the past year, with over $3 billion sourced from Ethereum. The total value locked (TVL) in Starknet has surged by 550% year-to-date, driven by the integration of Kakarot EVM, which supports Solidity and may enhance developer adoption. Additionally, Solana's DeFi protocols have generated $420.69 million in revenue in November, significantly outpacing Ethereum's $161.2 million during the same period. Solana's recent performance includes a 38% price increase over the past month, reaching a new all-time high of $263.83, with decentralized exchange volumes surpassing $100 billion this month.
