$SOL Solana is a decentralized blockchain, whose protocol was developed to offer greater scalability and facilitate the creation of decentralized applications.
Just like on the Ethereum network, the development of DApps is possible through smart contracts. What distinguishes Solana is that its purpose is focused on high performance: the network is capable of achieving high transaction speeds at low cost, making it more scalable and user-friendly.
Solana was founded in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko and officially launched in 2020 by the Solana Foundation. Currently, the protocol already has thousands of developed projects, including Fantom and Audius, as well as integration with Chainlink (LINK).
Due to all this potential of Solana, it is interesting to learn more about SOL, its native token.
