What it is
Solana is a blockchain built for very high transaction throughput and low fees, aimed at applications that need speed — payments, trading and consumer apps. Its native coin is SOL.
How it works
Solana uses a proof-of-stake design with a distinctive timestamping method that lets it process transactions in parallel, targeting thousands per second. SOL is used to pay fees and to stake for network security.
Why it matters
Solana is one of the most-used alternatives to Ethereum, particularly for high-volume trading and consumer applications, and hosts a large share of on-chain activity.

Honest risk note
SOL is volatile and younger than Bitcoin or Ethereum. The network has suffered several outages that halted transactions, and a large portion of supply has historically been concentrated among early holders and insiders.
