Solana (SOL) is a third-generation blockchain that supports multiple DeFi solutions, such as the development of decentralised applications (dapps) and smart contracts. It’s secured through a unique consensus mechanism that combines proof-of-work with a novice proof-of-history.

Thanks to the hybrid consensus model, Solana can carry out up to 50,000 transactions per second. Another feature that helps Solana attract both small-time and institutional traders is that it always keeps the transaction cost under 1 cent.

Important: please note that SOL deposits and withdrawals are currently not supported. You can exchange and store SOL. If you'd like to receive or send it, you'll have to first exchange it for a currency which supports crypto deposits and withdrawals – you can always check with the list in this article.
