Solana is a fast and efficient blockchain platform designed for the development and execution of decentralised applications (DApps). It utilises a combination of Proof of Stake (PoS) and an innovative Proof of History (PoH) consensus mechanism to address scalability issues that affect other blockchain platforms.
