What Is the Market Cap of SOL? 

Solana's high throughput and short transaction processing times are largely due to its unique consensus mechanism —  a combination of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-History (PoH).Proof-of-History (PoH) creates a time-stamped record of all transactions on the network, enabling nodes to quickly verify the order of transactions without the need for continuous communication. This approach reduces the time and energy required for consensus.
