Solana (SOL)
Solana is a decentralized blockchain platform similar to Ethereum, that is built with a hybrid consensus protocol that includes both delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) and proof-of-history (PoH) and offers smart contract capabilities
Example
“SOL surged past $200 as NFT trading volume on Solana exploded, with users citing the network's sub-second transaction times and fees under a penny as major advantages over Ethereum.”
