Solana Technical Details
Consensus Algorithm
Proof of History + Proof of Stake
Solana combines Proof of History for time synchronization and Proof of Stake for validator incentives.
Performance Metrics
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Transactions Per Second (TPS) | 4,000 |
| Gas Per Second | 65,000,000,000 (estimated as the network doesn’t use gas in the traditional sense) |
| Finality Time | 2-3 seconds |
Throughput Techniques
- Parallel processing
- Turbine protocol
