- Ethereum continued to dominate Solana and Polygon in the NFT ecosystem
Solana [SOL] witnessed some traction in its NFT ecosystem last week as a few popular collections migrated back to SOL.
Does this mean that Solana’s NFT ecosystem is poised to witness further growth in the coming weeks?

The NFT ecosystem boomed last week as sales across multiple chains increased. AMBCrypto’s look at NonFungible’s data revealed that the total number of NFT sales last week increased.

While the market grew, Solana onboarded popular NFT collections like y00ts and DeGod, which had migrated to other chains earlier.
To be precise, y00ts returned from Polygon [MATIC], while DeDod left Ethereum [ETH]. The inclusion of such top collections helped SOL’s NFT space.
As per a tweet from SolanaFloor, SOL’s NFT sales reached $25 million in the last seven days. The number was commendable, as Polygon’s weekly NFT sales stood at a mere $8 million.
Nonetheless, Ethereum remained the top player, as its weekly sales volume was $48 million, as per Cryptoslam.
AMBCrypto’s look at DappRadar’s data revealed the top-performing collections on Solana. Both y00ts and DeGods made it to the top 5, along with Mad Lads, Frogana, and SMB Gen 2.
