Solana (SOL) has consolidated itself as one of the most influential blockchain networks in the crypto ecosystem. Launched in 2020 by Solana Labs, its main proposal is to solve the "scalability trilemma": to offer security, decentralization, and, above all, unprecedented speed.

Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, Solana uses an innovative hybrid mechanism that combines Proof of Stake (PoS) with Proof of History (PoH). The PoH allows the network to chronologically record the passage of time between events without all nodes needing to agree simultaneously, which drastically reduces processing times. Thanks to this, the network can process more than 50,000 transactions per second (TPS) at minimal costs, often less than a cent.

Despite having faced stability challenges in the past, its ecosystem of NFTs, decentralized finance (DeFi), and Web3 continues to thrive. Solana is not just a cryptocurrency, but a robust infrastructure designed for applications at a global scale.
