Buy Solana | How to Buy SOL

What is Solana?

Solana is an open-source blockchain platform, created in 2017 by Qualcomm and Dropbox software engineer, Anatoly Yakoveno. It was built to provide a foundation for developers around the world to build and host decentralised, scalable, blockchain-based projects.

Impressive speed

Solana’s incredibly high speed makes it a stand-out. It can process 50,000 transactions a second. It does this with the help of a new validation protocol called Proof of History, which enablestransactions to be executed at very high speed.

Favoured by developers

Developers have caught onto Solana’s advantages quickly. Solana is already supporting over 500 projects in DeFI, NFT’s, and Web3.

Why should you buy Solana?

Future-proof platform

Solana is a future-proofed platform. It makes it easy for developers at any scale to create and run the next generation of blockchain based solutions to real world problems. Meaning it has a key role to play in the next era of blockchain.

Significantly faster

Solana can process a high number of transactions at high speed, and its transaction fees are much lower than many other blockchains (including Ethereum). Its speed, low transaction cost, and energy efficiency makes it attractive to small-time users and enterprise customers alike.

Built-in scalability

Solana’s built-in scalability is another major advantage over other blockchain platforms. Developers simply need to integrate their projects with Solana once, and all future scaling is taken care of.
