Solana

Fast transaction network

Solana is a blockchain platform designed for high-speed, low-cost transactions, positioning itself as a faster alternative to Ethereum.

Its native cryptocurrency is SOL.

I moved some assets to Solana because the gas fees are lower.

The name comes from a beach town near San Diego where the founders lived.
