Solana is a high-performance blockchain designed for scalability, aiming to provide fast transaction speeds and low fees, making it a popular platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. Its innovative Proof-of-History (PoH) consensus mechanism, combined with Proof-of-Stake (PoS), enables it to process a high volume of transactions efficiently. SOL is the native utility token of the Solana network, used for paying transaction fees, staking to secure the network, and participating in governance.
