About Solana

Solana is a decentralized computing platform that uses SOL to pay for transactions. Solana aims to improve blockchain scalability by using a combination of proof of stake consensus and so-called proof of history. As a result, Solana claims to be able to support 50,000 transactions per second without sacrificing decentralization.

Launched in March 2020 by the Solana Foundation, based in Geneva, Switzerland, Solana is a crypto-computing platform that aims to achieve high transaction speeds without sacrificing decentralization. It seeks to improve scalability through a different approach in the blockchain industry, combining a proof-of-history (PoH) consensus with the blockchain's underlying proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus. This approach has attracted interest from a diverse range of traders, from small-scale individuals to institutional entities. Solana claims it can process around 50,000 transactions per second. Like Ethereum, Solana is both a cryptocurrency and a flexible platform for running decentralized apps (dapps) or minting NFTs, with its cryptocurrency (SOL) available to buy and sell via exchanges like Coinbase.

Christmas tree made of Bitcoins

Year in Review: Tallying up the numbers behind 2023’s biggest Solana headlines

COINBASE BYTES • DEC 20, 2023

There’s never a dull year on the blockchain. So, to round out 2023, we took a look back at the numbers that shaped the news.
    The approximate total value locked into DeFi protocols on Solana’s blockchain was $1 billion, up from around $210 million at the start of the year. The Ethereum alternative had a breakout year, with prices up more than 600% to around $80 as of Wednesday. 
    Crypto’s total market cap has reached $1.66 trillion as of Tuesday — a roughly 100% increase since the beginning of the year. After experiencing historically low volatility for much of 2023, prices began ramping up sharply this fall (shout out to “Uptober”!) as optimism grew that the SEC might soon approve one of Wall Street’s “spot” BTC ETF applications.

Staring into the cryptoball: Breaking down 9 predictions that could shape 2024

COINBASE BYTES • JAN 04, 2024

SOL’s comeback might not be done, and buzzy protocols could fuel Solana’s next phase.
    Last year saw the low-fee Ethereum alternative Solana bounce back in a big way. After crashing in the wake of FTX’s collapse, SOL’s 2023 gains topped 1000%, leading research firm Messari to declare the token “crypto’s comeback player of the year.”
    A range of buzzy projects built on the network — including the decentralized broadband protocol Helium, speedy DeFi tools like Jupiter, and an improving payments ecosystem that counts Visa and Shopify among its adopters — could help power SOL into 2024.
