Solana is a blockchain looking to address the scaling issue head-on, allowing users to process a massive number of transactions per second (TPS). To put things into perspective according to Binance Academy, while Bitcoin, Ethereum and Visa currently offer TPS rates of just 7, 30 and 2000 respectively, Solana allows users to facilitate a whopping 50,000 transactions per second. SOL is the native token of the Solana ecosystem and has a maximum supply cap of 489 million tokens. Since the platform makes use of a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network, participants can stake their SOL coins to become validators within the network as well as earn passive rewards for their efforts.
In August 2021, Solana jumped onto the non-fungible token (NFT) bandwagon, adding it to its hefty list of decentralised finance (DeFi) projects. Its entry into the NFT market is known as the Degen Ape Academy, where users can purchase an avatar (which is a 'smooth-brained' ape) and enrol them as a student in the Academy. From there, NFT holders will be able to create and submit artwork to competitions and participate in a customisable kart-racing game with in-built rewards.
Upon the NFT platform's launch, all 10,000 Apes available were sold out within 10 minutes, immediately causing a surge in Solana's token price. Well-known celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Gary Vaynerchuk were some of the many to purchase an Ape NFT at launch.
The success of their NFT ventures, plus heightened interest in blockchains with “smart contract” capabilities, has led to Solana rising a whopping 15,300% in 2021.
SOL is the native token of the Solana network and has a number of use-cases, including: governance, staking, buying goods from merchants, building decentralized applications and participating in NFT games and metaverses. These tokens can be held in Solana's native wallets, Fantom and Sollet.
