What is Solana?

Solana is a blockchain platform for hosting decentralized, scalable applications. It was founded in 2017 as an open-source project by the Solana Foundation in Geneva, with the blockchain built by Solana Labs in San Francisco. Solana is much faster in terms of transaction processing capacity and has significantly lower transaction fees than rival blockchains such as Ethereum.
