Solana has established itself as a leading blockchain platform, distinguished by its exceptional transaction speeds and innovative architecture. Its unique consensus mechanism, Proof of History (PoH), and node structure enable high throughput, requiring significant computational resources. Solana's average block time of 400 milliseconds and capacity for 65,000 transactions per second (TPS) surpass major blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin. Despite theoretical limits, Solana consistently achieves practical throughput exceeding 1,000 TPS. Third-party providers like GetBlock offer optimized node access, balancing performance and cost for developers.
