Solana (SOL) is opening a permanent physical retail store in Manhattan’s West Side of NYC, dedicated to all things crypto. The Shops is a fancy mall within the city and the Solana Spaces store opened on Thursday. Known as an Ethereum Killer, Solana prides itself on being faster and more efficient than its competitor. This isn't the first time that the cryptocurrency has branched out from the metaverse - it has also announced that it will be releasing a Web3 android mobile phone called ‘Saga’.
