$SOL

Solana is a high-performance blockchain platform launched in 2020, renowned for its speed and scalability. It utilizes a unique hybrid consensus mechanism combining Proof of History (PoH)—a cryptographic timestamping system—with Proof of Stake (PoS), enabling rapid transaction processing (up to 65,000 TPS) and low fees. Designed to support decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi, and NFTs, Solana offers a competitive alternative to Ethereum. Despite occasional network stability issues, its ecosystem thrives with developer innovation and institutional interest. The native token, SOL, fuels transactions and governance. Solana's emphasis on efficiency and scalability positions it as a key player in advancing blockchain technology for mainstream adoption.
