Solana’s Technological Advantages

Blockchain networks have different strengths depending on factors such as transaction speed, cost efficiency, and scalability. By choosing Solana, YU Token is designed to be fast and cost-effective, making it easy for both small businesses and everyday consumers to use in real-world transactions. Compared to Ethereum and other Layer 1 blockchains, Solana stands out due to its technological superiority, transaction speed, cost efficiency, scalability, and developer-friendliness.

Solana was designed to address the common challenges of scalability, cost efficiency, and transaction speed faced by traditional blockchain networks. Through its unique Proof of History (PoH) consensus mechanism, Solana can efficiently order transactions and process over 50,000 transactions per second (TPS).

1) Proof of History (PoH) Consensus Mechanism

Solana combines PoH (Proof of History) and PoS (Proof of Stake) to enhance network speed while minimizing energy consumption.

• Traditional blockchains require significant time to generate new blocks, with each node independently verifying transactions in an inefficient manner.

• PoH pre-records timestamps for each transaction, maximizing verification speed and eliminating unnecessary consensus processes, enabling ultra-fast network processing.

2) Comparison with Other Blockchains

Blockchain	Consensus Mechanism	TPS	Network Fees	Decentralization
Ethereum	Proof of Stake	30-50 TPS	High (Gas Fees)	Decentralized
Binance Smart Chain	Proof of Staked Authority	~ 160 TPS	Low	Limited Validator Nodes (Centralization Concerns)
Solana	PoH + PoS	50,000+ TPS	Very Low	Highly Decentralized

• Ethereum processes an average of 30–50 TPS, but high network fees (Gas Fees) make it inefficient for microtransactions.

• Binance Smart Chain (BSC) processes ~160 TPS, but it has centralization concerns due to its limited number of validators.

• Solana processes over 50,000 TPS, offering low transaction costs and high decentralization, making it an optimal choice for scalable blockchain applications.

3) High Security and Decentralization

Solana maintains high security and decentralization by operating over 1,600 validator nodes within its network. It provides decentralization and security comparable to Ethereum while offering faster validation speeds and lower costs.

By leveraging these technological advantages, YU Token can establish a fast and stable payment network that is both efficient and cost-effective for small businesses and consumers.
