Solana’s payment feature addition and Phantom’s $109M funding round as catalysts for growthThrough an official announcement on Twitter, On February 1, 2022, Solana made an announcement about Solana Pay, which is intended to be a decentralized, secure, and open-source payments protocol.
The main promise behind Solana Pay is that the payment and underlying technology goes from being a necessary service utility to a true peer-to-peer communication channel between a merchant as well as a consumer.
The protocol provides a specification, which lets the consumer send digital dollar currencies directly from their wallet into the merchant’s account, which settles immediately with costs measured in fractions of a penny.
Additionally, we covered how Phantom announced that it had raised $109 million in a Series B funding round and that by partnering with Phantom, Solana is planning to venture into Web3.
Both of these aspects have the genuine potential of making the Solana (SOL) token shine and increase in terms of value as well as utility.
