About Solana
What is Solana?
In expediting much-needed efforts to solve the problems of scalability and transaction costs, Anatoly Yakovenko founded the Solana platform in 2017.
At its core, Solana is a blockchain built for mass adoption. The platform prides itself in claiming to be fast, composable, green, and globally distributed.
Solana’s blockchain architecture is designed to accommodate smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) creation. The platform serves the needs of an array of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces.
SOL’s Trajectory
SOL is a cryptocurrency that is native to the Solana blockchain. The primary use of SOL lies in its compensation for Solana clusters for validating transactions. In addition to this, SOL holders can stake their tokens to earn APY rewards.
The cryptocurrency soared by over 13,000% in 2021 after its remarkable buying spree. During this bullish run of 2021, it rose to its all-time high (ATH) of $258.93 on November 6.
