The Solana blockchain is an exciting one, ranking number nine (9) in coinmarketcap. With such a significant repertoire, it is not surprising to find a lot of interesting projects on the Solana blockchain.

Closing Notes
Most crypto projects have migrated from the use of emails for official communication, as Discord seems very convenient compared to mailing, thus, some of these projects didn't have an official email running and on display in their contact pages. The projects presented here are the best picks based on the strength of projects on the blockchain and there significance in the cryptoverse.
