Trade-offs in Blockchain Infrastructure: The ongoing tension between decentralization and speed in blockchain technology is highlighted by projects like Fogo and Hyperliquid, which aim for ultra-low latency trading experiences by reducing geographic distribution of validators, while Solana works on a roadmap to improve its performance by 2027.

About SOL

Solana is a highly functional open source project that banks on blockchain technology’s permissionless nature to provide decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions. While the idea and initial work on the project began in 2017, Solana was officially launched in March 2020 by the Solana Foundation with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Solana.The Solana protocol is designed to facilitate decentralized app (DApp) creation. It aims to improve scalability by introducing a proof-of-history (PoH) consensus combined with the underlying proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus of the blockchain.Because of the innovative hybrid consensus model, Solana enjoys interest from small-time traders and institutional traders alike. A significant focus for the Solana Foundation is to make decentralized finance accessible on a larger scale.
