Solana 
is a Layer 1 blockchain designed for high performance and low-cost transactions, using a unique Proof of History (PoH) combined with Proof of Stake (PoS). It achieves speeds of up to 65,000 transactions per second, low latency, and minimal fees, making it ideal for decentralised applications (dApps) and decentralised finance (DeFi) services that require rapid, secure, and scalable solutions.
Wallet
To connect with the Solana network, install the Phantom extension and create a wallet. Remember, securely store your private key!
Phantom wallet is the recommended wallet to use for Solana, however, SolFlare and MagicEden wallet are very popular choices as well!
