✅ Solana allows people to transact directly with each other instantly at almost no cost.
Compared to older platforms like Bitcoin and Ethereum, Solana is:
-
Significantly faster - most transactions complete in a second or two.
-
Massively cheaper - transaction fees (referred to as 'gas fees' in older networks) are typically $0.00025 (much less than one penny) regardless of the value of what's being transferred.
-
Highly decentralized, having one of the highest Nakamoto coefficients (decentralization score) of any proof-of-stake network.
Many of the common use cases on Solana are only possible on Solana, due to the high costs and slow translation times of older blockchains
