Solana is a high-performance blockchain for smart contracts and decentralized applications. It was launched in 2020 based on an idea by Anatoly Yakovenko. The network combines the Proof-of-Stake algorithm with Proof-of-History technology, which orders transactions over time. This enables processing a vast number of operations quickly and with minimal fees. The native cryptocurrency SOL is used for paying fees and staking: holders delegate coins to validators and earn rewards. Solana hosts DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, payment services, and stablecoins. SOL ranks among the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

FAQ
-
Solana is a blockchain platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications known for high speed and low fees. SOL is the network's native cryptocurrency: it is used to pay transaction fees and for staking.
-
Anatoly Yakovenko, a former Qualcomm engineer, proposed the idea of Solana. He founded Solana Labs, which developed the blockchain. The mainnet was launched in 2020. The Solana Foundation, a nonprofit organization, along with independent developer teams, oversees the ecosystem's development.
-
Proof-of-History is a technology that creates a cryptographic timestamp for each transaction in the network. Validators don't need to spend time agreeing on the order of events, which significantly speeds up blockchain operations. Network security is ensured by the Proof-of-Stake algorithm.
-
No. SOL is not mined. Validators who stake SOL confirm transactions. New coins are issued as staking rewards, and a portion of transaction fees is burned.
-
A SOL holder can delegate coins to one of the validators directly from their wallet and receive a portion of the reward for block confirmation. The coins remain with the owner but are locked during staking. There is also liquid staking: instead of locked SOL, the user receives a token that can be used in DeFi.
-
The network processes a large number of transactions in parallel, so the base fee for a transfer is a fraction of a cent. During high-load periods, users can add a priority fee to have their transaction processed faster.
-
SPL is the token standard on the Solana network, analogous to ERC-20 on Ethereum. Under this standard, stablecoins such as USDC and USDT, project tokens, and memecoins are issued on Solana. When transferring such tokens to an exchange or wallet, it is important that the recipient supports the Solana network.
