#SOL Futures Reach New High #Gate ETH Staking APY 5% #Show My Alpha Points ⚡ 1. Super Fast Transactions
Transaction speed can reach 65,000 TPS ( transactions per second ), far above Ethereum which averages <30 TPS ( without L2).
Latency is very low — block confirmation is only about 400–500 milliseconds.
---
💲 2. Very Low Cost
The average transaction fee is only $0.00025–$0.0005, around 4–8 rupiah.
Suitable for microtransactions, mass NFT minting, and DeFi applications with large volumes.
---
⏱️ 3. Proof of History (PoH)
Unique innovation of Solana: each transaction is given a cryptographic timestamp, so validators do not need to coordinate for block order.
Making blockchain more synchronized and efficient compared to regular Proof of Work or PoS systems.
---
🛠️ 4. Fast Growing Ecosystem
Many popular DApps: Serum, Raydium, Magic Eden, Phantom Wallet.
Large developer base due to support for Rust, C, and C++.
Has a strong sector in NFT, DeFi, and GameFi.
---
🌱 5. High Scalability Without Layer-2
Solana can process thousands of transactions directly on Layer-1 without the need for rollups or sidechains.
No complex "sharding" — all nodes process the same chain.
---
🪙 6. Institutional & Community Support
Backed by major investors such as Multicoin Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Alameda Research.
Active communities around the world, regular hackathon events, and incentive programs for developers.
---
📉 7. User & Developer Friendly
User-friendly wallet like Phantom that resembles a Web2 experience.
Comprehensive developer tools, fast API, clear documentation.
