Its groundbreaking technology includes the Proof of History (PoH) consensus mechanism, enabling rapid transaction processing at approximately 50,000 transactions per second—far surpassing Ethereum and other blockchains. SOL, Solana's native cryptocurrency, fuels transactions and powers staking for network security and governance. Its versatile platform hosts various applications, from NFT markets and DeFi to gaming and decentralized lotteries. Despite occasional service interruptions affecting SOL's value, Solana remains renowned for its advanced capabilities.
