Solana

Solana is an open-source, high-performance, and permissionless blockchain. The network aims to solve the blockchain dilemma by creating a fast, scalable network that doesn't compromise security or decentralization. The protocol introduces eight core technologies, making it possible to scale transactions proportionally with bandwidth and thus lead industry transaction speed and business security. The Solana blockchain is fully permissionless, and any individual or entity can launch its validator. However, deploying and maintaining validators requires institution-grade infrastructure and specialist expertise to mitigate downtime risks and ensure maximum uptime.
