What is Solana?
A fast and high-performance blockchain for DeFi and NFTs
Solana is a high-performance blockchain platform that leverages a unique Proof of History (PoH) consensus mechanism alongside Proof of Stake (PoS). As a result, it is able to process up to 65,000 transactions per second (TPS) with extremely low transaction costs often below $0.01. Solana has built in Account Abstraction-like features, which enables powerful and easy configurations for developers and users. The scalability and efficiency make Solana ideal for DeFi, NFTs, DePin applications, and gaming.

FAQs
How is Solana different from other Layer-1 blockchains?
Solana stands out from other blockchains due to its quick transactions, high scalability, and very cheap transaction fees. Solana is able to achieve this through its unique Proof of History (POH) consensus model, which makes it a strong fit for dApps that want to support a large user base and high throughput transactions. On the other hand, Solana is seen as more centralized and less secure than Ethereum.
Is there room for both Ethereum and Solana to succeed in the future?
While often seen as competitors, Ethereum and Solana serve much different purposes across the world of Web3. While Solana is a better fit for dApps that require a high frequency of cheap transactions, Ethereum offers a higher level of decentralization and network security. We envision a future where many chains succeed simultaneously.
What’s in store for the future of Solana?
Solana is home to one of the most active development communities in Web3, diligently working towards an ambitious roadmap for the network. The next major upgrade in this roadmap is the Firedancer upgrade, which will help to prevent outages and centralization concerns, while furthering the throughput of the network.
What sectors within Solana are developers currently focusing on?
On top of its scalability and cheap costs, Solana also has built in Account Abstraction-like features, providing developers and end-users with a seamless experience. These attributes make Solana ideal for applications that accommodate a large number of users and transactions, such as DeFi, NFTs, DePin applications, and gaming.
