🎙 Episode 21 — Exploring the Solana Blockchain
Solana has been hailed as one of the fastest and most scalable blockchains in the crypto ecosystem—but is it all smooth sailing?

In this episode, we dive into what makes Solana tick, including its innovative Proof of History (PoH) combined with Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus model. You'll learn how it's powering the next generation of DeFi, NFTs, and blockchain gaming—all while keeping fees incredibly low.

But it's not without its challenges. We unpack the platform's history of outages, centralization concerns, smart contract risks, and regulatory pressure. We also take a look at new improvements like Firedancer and localized fee markets designed to future-proof the network.

We’ll also spotlight the vibrant Solana dev ecosystem, from building dApps in Rust to interfacing with RPC nodes.

💡 Whether you're curious about Solana’s tech or questioning its trade-offs, this episode gives you a balanced, comprehensive view.
