One transaction on Solana blockchain network consumes less energy than two Google searches and 24 times less energy than charging your phone, according to a report by the Solana Foundation.
Created by Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana operates on a decentralized computer network using a ledger called blockchain.
Solana claims that it is the fastest blockchain in the world and touts its ability to verify 65,000 transactions per second at a cost of less than a penny each.
The network is designed to be a high-performance blockchain, and is incredibly energy efficient. The report states that a single transaction on Solana network uses 0.00051 kilowatt-hour (kWh), or 1,836 Joules, of energy, while an average search uses 0.0003 kWh or 1,080 Joules of energy.
