Solana is known for its high-speed and low-cost blockchain technology. Here are five key advantages of Solana:

1️⃣ High Throughput (Speed)
Solana can process 65,000+ transactions per second (TPS), making it one of the fastest blockchains.

2️⃣ Low Transaction Costs
Average transaction fees are around $0.00025—much lower than Ethereum's gas fees.

Enables microtransactions and cost-efficient DeFi/NFT activities.

3️⃣ Scalability Without Layer 2 Solutions
Unlike Ethereum, which relies on Layer 2 solutions, Solana scales natively on Layer 1.

No need for rollups or off-chain solutions to improve speed and efficiency.

4️⃣ Developer & Ecosystem Growth
Solana supports Rust & C, making it appealing for developers from traditional software backgrounds.

Strong ecosystem with DeFi projects (Raydium, Serum), NFTs (Magic Eden), and Web3 apps.

5️⃣ Energy Efficient & Eco-Friendly
Uses a more energy-efficient PoH + Proof-of-Stake (PoS) hybrid model, reducing carbon footprint.
