#SolanaSurge What is Solana? (SOL)

Crypto Solana is a high-throughput blockchain based on the Proof of History (PoH) and Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanisms. Created by a team of network engineers, Solana aims to become the blockchain infrastructure for modern internet applications.

Solana is a general-purpose blockchain, similar to Ethereum. It has a different technical stack, so developers write applications using Rust instead of Solidity or Vyper. Current end-user applications include decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), marketplaces, games, and much more.
