Solana

Solana is a highly functional open-source project leveraging blockchain technology’s permissionless nature to offer decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions. Initially conceptualized in 2017, Solana was officially launched in March 2020 by the Solana Foundation, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The Solana protocol is engineered to facilitate decentralized application (DApp) creation, aiming to enhance scalability through a unique combination of proof-of-history (PoH) and proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanisms. This innovative hybrid consensus model has garnered interest from both retail and institutional traders. The Solana Foundation is dedicated to expanding the accessibility of decentralized finance on a global scale.
