Solana is known for being fast and having very low costs for transactions, making it a top pick in the blockchain world.
Solana’s speed and efficiency are clear in apps like Serum. Serum has gained popularity for its rapid execution of trades. Here are three reasons why Solana is currently the most talked-about blockchain.
1. Stellar Performance in Stablecoin Transfers
The blockchain’s unique consensus mechanism, Proof of History (PoH), facilitates rapid transactions. This allows Solana to process stablecoin transfers more efficiently than its counterparts.
As a result, this is allowing Solana to currently lead stablecoin transactions surpassing Ethereum and other blockchains. This has become very visible in December 2023.

Solana’s low transaction costs play a pivotal role in the NFT space, allowing artists to mint and trade NFTs without the prohibitive fees associated with other blockchains. This has contributed significantly to Solana’s rise as a preferred blockchain for NFT enthusiasts and creators.
3. Seamless Onboarding and User-Friendly Experience
Solana is easy to use, making it a great choice for newcomers who are starting to interact with the ecosystem. The Solana ecosystem provides accessible resources, comprehensive documentation, and developer-friendly tools. This reduces barriers for individuals and projects looking to navigate and participate in the blockchain space. This is happening specially in NFTs.
