About Solana Foundation
Bring blockchain to the people. Solana supports experiences for power users, new consumers, and everyone in between. Don’t keep your users waiting. Solana has block times of 400 milliseconds — and as hardware gets faster, so will the network. Get big, quick. Solana is made to handle thousands of transactions per second, and fees for both developers and users remain less than $0.0025. The Solana network is validated by thousands of nodes that operate independently of each other, ensuring your data remains secure and censorship resistant. Solana’s proof of stake network and other innovations minimize its impact on the environment. Each Solana transaction uses about the same energy as a few Google searches.
