About Solana
Enabling development for fast, secure crypto apps that scale
Solana aims to support high throughput and low transaction time. Solana’s blazing speed and low fees scale as the ecosystem grows without sacrificing censorship resistance or security.
Solana is a smart contract platform optimized for maximum throughput and high availability. It achieves this, in part, through its implementation of Proof of History (PoH), a proof for verifying order and passage of time between events. Its Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism is then leveraged for confirmation of the current sequence produced by the Proof of History generator. Validators help to secure the network using through staking its native token, SOL.
