Solana is a high-performance blockchain network launched in 2020 by Anatoly Yakovenko, Greg Fitzgerald and Raj Gokal. Its architecture combines proof of stake with a proprietary mechanism called proof of history: a cryptographic function that generates a verifiable sequence of timestamps, allowing transactions to be ordered efficiently without relying on an external clock. This enables the network to process tens of thousands of transactions per second with very low fees. The network went through a turbulent period between 2021 and 2022, with several significant outages caused by software failures and saturation from mass bot transactions. Since then it has introduced substantial protocol improvements, and the last confirmed major outage occurred in February 2024. Its native token, SOL, is used to pay fees and participate in the network's consensus mechanism.
Solana news covers protocol updates, activity across its application ecosystem, technical incidents on the network, and the development of its validator community. In the news hub you will find the latest coverage from the sector's main sources. News hub →
Solana makes a clear bet: optimise for speed and cost by accepting an architecture that has shown some fragility under extreme load. Whether that trade-off is reasonable depends on what the network is actually used for — and that is precisely what is still being determined.
