As the Solana ecosystem heats up, Fragmetric is about to launch an airdrop (recently advancing multiple token-related actions including Non-Fungible Tokens), I know many Solana ecosystem users are already thinking about "what to do next" and "which projects' liquidity mining should be participated in".
Don't worry, I have compiled a carefully selected list of early potential projects in the Solana ecosystem, where participation now still offers relatively high return expectations.
Titan
Titan positions itself as the first DEX aggregator in the Solana ecosystem, capable of scanning multiple aggregators and decentralized exchanges to find the best trading route for users.
Titan has completed a $3.5 million pre-seed round of financing, with trading volume exceeding $500 million. Despite being in the closed beta stage, it has already integrated multiple DEXs and aggregators.
Currently, Titan's beta testers can obtain two key badges:
The Beta Badge: Obtained by completing one transaction during the testing phase;
The Colossus Badge: Reserved for users ranking in the top 10% of trading volume;
These badges are only issued during the closed testing period and may play an important role in future reward distribution.
Hylo
Hylo is a fully decentralized Solana native stablecoin system, paired with a powerful liquidation-risk-free leverage product.
Its core is hyUSD - a stablecoin fully backed by Liquidity Staking Tokens (LST). Hylo has also launched xSOL leverage token, allowing users to obtain 2-4x SOL positions without funding fees, margin fees, or worrying about liquidation.
Hylo is currently in the closed beta stage, with only 2,806 wallets participating.
This is not only an early participation opportunity but also an excellent strategic timing before market heat and crowd influx.
Pyra
Pyra is a native DeFi protocol in the Solana ecosystem that allows users to spend without selling cryptocurrencies.
Operating as a decentralized credit system, Pyra provides credit lines secured by crypto assets. Users can use a Pyra-issued Visa card for daily expenses by pledging crypto assets without converting them to fiat, while maintaining their asset investment status and potentially earning returns.
One of Pyra's most attractive features is its integration with high-yield DeFi strategies. Deposited assets are not idle but automatically generate passive income through protocols like Lulo. Additionally, Pyra is equipped with a smart liquidation protection mechanism. When collateral value drops, the system automatically replaces assets to repay the loan through Jupiter, without incurring additional penalties or fees.
Pyra is currently in the closed beta stage. If you want to release the liquidity of crypto assets without giving up asset ownership or upside potential, Pyra might be a wise choice.
Exponent
Exponent aims to introduce fixed-income products and leveraged mining functions to the Solana ecosystem. In short, it allows users to obtain predictable returns or amplify mining strategies.
Exponent has completed a $2.1 million financing round, led by RockawayX. Although newly established, Exponent shows strong momentum, with defillama data showing its Total Value Locked (TVL) has reached approximately $113.63 million.
Exponent is easy to operate with a clean and intuitive interface, making it easy for DeFi newcomers to use. The team provides 24/7 support, offering clear guidance and confidence assurance for users.
Exponent is still in its early stages and worth continuous attention.
Ranger Finance
Ranger Finance positions itself as the first perpetual contract aggregator on Solana, routing orders to multiple decentralized exchanges like Drift, Zeta, and Jupiter to simplify and optimize the trading process. Ranger Finance aims to provide the best execution price, minimal slippage, and a unified trading experience.
Ranger Finance has raised $1.9 million and quickly gained nearly 40,000 registered users after launch, with monthly trading volume approaching $100 million.
Ranger Finance is currently in the public testing phase, and participation now is still considered early.
Loopscale
Loopscale is a native lending protocol on Solana that uses an order book matching engine instead of traditional liquidity pools, bringing an innovative solution to decentralized finance. This design allows users to borrow and lend directly, freely setting fixed rates and customizing loan terms.
In addition to its core lending function, Loopscale offers "Loops" advanced strategies. Users can optimize returns in a single transaction using flash loans with interest-bearing tokens.
If considering participation, now is still a good opportunity.

Ping Network
Ping Network is a decentralized bandwidth infrastructure platform based on Solana, belonging to the currently hot DePIN project. Ping Network aggregates idle bandwidth from data centers, individual users, and enterprise hardware across more than 190 countries, building a global on-demand network suitable for VPN routing, data collection, content distribution, execution state monitoring, and AI services.
Earning rewards on Ping Network is very simple, just turn on network connection and activate VPN to start receiving rewards.
