Blockchain Industry | What makes Solana so fast?
Solana’s slots are designed to last about 400 milliseconds, with the validator selected as leader for each slot responsible for producing a block.
One reason Solana produces blocks so quickly is that it decides in advance who will produce them. The leader receives transactions, orders them, and executes them directly, avoiding a great deal of back-and-forth communication.
$SOL is Solana’s native coin, and $BNSOL is a liquid staking token for SOL launched by Binance.
Be extra cautious when you see projects claiming to offer stable, high returns.
