*How to use $SOL in games**

Solana is one of the best networks to support blockchain-based games due to its high speed and low cost. Games built on Solana benefit from the following advantages:

1. **Transaction processing speed**:

- Games need to make thousands of small transactions in a short time, such as purchasing weapons, upgrading characters, or trading in-game items.

- Solana allows these transactions to be processed at speeds of up to thousands of operations per second, saving users from waiting or delaying the experience.

2. **True ownership of in-game assets**:

- Using Solana, users can own digital assets (such as weapons, characters, or in-game currencies) in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

- These assets can be sold or traded outside of the game, giving players real ownership and economic value to the items they own.

3. **Low transaction costs**:

- Solana’s low transaction fees help reduce the costs of in-game operations, making them more affordable for users.

4. **Solana-based projects**:

- Examples: Games like *Star Atlas* and *Aurory* rely on the Solana network to take advantage of high speed and low costs.
