What Solana is this?

Solana was started by Anatoly Yakovenko, a software engineer who has worked for Dropbox and other major tech companies, started Solana in 2017.Yakovenko was of the opinion that, despite the fact that other blockchains are efficient or at least working toward efficiency, many of them do not account for time. Every block runs on the local time of the relevant node, rather than on a standardized clock. What is causing this issue? Transaction timestamps will vary for each block without a standardized clock, and the time of confirmation is yet another factor that all nodes must validate. The transaction time is slowed down by the number of factors a node must validate. All nodes on Solana operate on the same clock, eliminating one validation factor and thereby accelerating the network. This consensus method is referred to as proof-of-history (PoH) by Yakovenko, and it is a modified form of proof-of-stake (PoS) that takes into account time for verification purposes. In the case of Solana, validation functions similarly to proof-of-stake. In addition to the proof-of-stake strategy, Solana only makes use of time as a historical record of proof. Solana is able to process a minimum of 65,000 transactions per second as a result. Solana is also in competition with Ethereum (ETH is currently trading at $1,346). Both kinds of decentralized financial DApps are available on both platforms, some of which support cryptocurrencies as well. The Solana token is SOL, not ETHER, which is at the center of everything. Validators receive SOL as a reward and are able to transact within the Solana network, stake for governance purposes, and conduct transactions. In any case, Solana has its own decentralized exchange where tokens built on top of its platform can be traded. Because Solana's PoH consensus enables it to process tens of thousands of transactions per second without fees, Solana Labs is developing Solana Pay to provide that transaction power to the masses. Every DApp built on Solana is certain to have its own SOL-compatible token, and on-chain decentralized exchanges provide an accessible way to buy said tokens.
