It is a decentralized platform that provides fast, secure, and scalable blockchain solutions for decentralized applications and crypto-currencies. Solana uses a unique consensus mechanism called Proof of History (PoH) to achieve high throughput and low latency. +Solana is a high-performance blockchain designed for mass adoption. Compared to rival blockchains like [[Ethereum]], it offers super-fast 400ms confirmation times and low transaction fees, with a median fee of 0.00064 SOL per transaction. Solana aims to provide the best experience for developers and users to build and use decentralized applications. ## Service Provided +> [!todo] +> Add more details about the services provided by Solana foundation. + ## Technical Details +### Innovative Consensus Mechanism + +Both Ethereum and Solana use a consensus mechanism called [[Proof of stake]] (PoS). Solana introduces an innovative global clock design called Proof of History (PoH), which arranges the sequence of blocks, transactions, and events. In the event of a fork, Solana can quickly resolve it using PoH, whereas Ethereum validators need to calculate attestations from the genesis block to the latest block, which is time-consuming. + +### On-Chain Programs + +In Solana, [[Smart Contract]]s are referred to as "on-chain programs" and are written in Rust. Each program is an on-chain account that stores executable logic, organized into specific functions called instructions. There is a framework called [Anchor](https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor) that helps developers write, test, and deploy on-chain programs efficiently. + +### Account Model +The most significant difference between Solana and Ethereum is the account model. In Ethereum, each account can be either an Externally Owned Account (EOA) or a Contract Account, where the contract logic and storage are tied together. In Solana, the contract account and storage account are separated, making contract accounts completely stateless. + +## Applications + +- [Explorer: Solscan](https://solscan.io/) +- [Explorer: Solana Explorer](https://explorer.solana.com/) +- [Explorer: SolanaFM](https://solana.fm/?cluster=mainnet-alpha) + ## Social Media -## Team +- [Official Website](https://solana.com/) +- [Official Documentation](https://solana.com/docs) +- [Github](https://github.com/solana-foundation) +- [X](https://x.com/solana) +- [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/SolanaFndn) + +## Latest Updates -## Latest Updates \ No newline at end of file +- 2023-04 Solana Mobile began selling in the Solana Saga, an Android smartphone with Solana-based dapps. +- 2020-03 Generated the first block on the Solana Mainnet \ No newline at end of file
