Why Solana? #

Designed to scale, Solana is purpose built for blockchain applications to reach millions of users. Instead of worrying about optimizing for the blockchain layer, developers can focus on building their application to reach product market fit. Not only can it scale now for blockchain application needs, but the network continues to be optimized with user experience in mind.

Building the best user experience in an application is a top priority for developers. With blockchains, the user experience is often limited by the underlying technology, causing slow response times and high fees. Solana's low fees and 400ms confirmation times enable developers to build applications that are user friendly and accessible to everyone.
