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.
