**What is Solana (SOL)?**

Solana (SOL) is a cutting-edge Layer-1 blockchain platform built to power decentralized applications (dApps) and digital assets. It focuses on delivering fast, secure, and scalable solutions for decentralized ecosystems.

A key innovation behind Solana is its **Proof of History (PoH)** consensus mechanism, which timestamps transactions to streamline validation. This enables the network to process thousands of transactions per second (TPS) with minimal fees and near-instant finality.

The platform’s native token, **SOL**, serves multiple purposes: paying for transaction fees, staking to secure the network, and participating in governance decisions.

Thanks to its speed, efficiency, and low costs, Solana has become a top choice for developers building dApps, DeFi protocols, NFT projects, and other blockchain-based solutions. Its infrastructure aims to bridge the gap between scalability and decentralization.
