About Solana
How Solana Works
The network operates on a unique hybrid model that combines Proof of Stake with an innovation called Proof of History, which functions as a decentralized clock to timestamp transactions. This system reduces the need for constant node communication, allowing the Sealevel engine to run non-conflicting smart contracts in parallel across multiple CPU cores. Further efficiency is gained through the Gulf Stream protocol, which reduces confirmation times by forwarding transactions to validators before the current block is finished.
Founded in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana is now supported by the Switzerland-based Solana Foundation and significant institutional investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Polychain Capital. The platform’s native token, SOL, serves as the primary currency for paying transaction fees, participating in network governance, and securing the system through staking.
Solana has also seen significant institutional adoption ranging from spot Solana ETFs to major partnerships including Visa's 2025 launch of USDC settlement on the network and the tokenization of public equity by firms like Galaxy Digital.
High-Performance Blockchain
Solana is a highly functional open source project that banks on blockchain technology's permissionless nature to provide decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions. The protocol is designed to facilitate decentralized app (DApp) creation and aims to improve scalability by introducing a proof-of-history (PoH) consensus combined with the underlying proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus of the blockchain.
Because of its innovative hybrid consensus model, Solana enjoys incredibly fast processing times, making it a favorite among small-time traders and institutional traders alike. A significant focus of the Solana Foundation is making decentralized finance accessible on a larger scale.

Solana Whitepaper Summary
Overview
Published in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko, the Solana whitepaper introduces a new timekeeping architecture for distributed systems called Proof of History (PoH). This innovation drastically reduces the communication overhead required for nodes to agree on the state of the network, enabling extremely high transaction throughput.
Technology (Proof of History)
Proof of History uses a cryptographically secure function (SHA-256) running in a continuous sequence, where the output of the previous step is used as the input for the next. This creates a historical record that proves that an event has occurred at a specific moment in time.
Tokenomics
The SOL token is used to pay for transaction fees and smart contract execution on the network. It can also be staked to secure the network. Solana utilizes a dis-inflationary emission schedule, starting at 8% and decreasing by 15% annually until it reaches a long-term fixed inflation rate of 1.5%.
