What is Solana?
Solana is a decentralized blockchain platform designed to enable users to build decentralized applications, launch SPL tokens, validate transactions, create cryptocurrency wallets, secure the network, and earn rewards. The solution empowers developers to send transactions to apps with one or more instructions, allowing teams to transfer lamports from one account to another or to create interactive contracts that control how lamports are transferred. The Solana runtime helps users verify the validity of transactions by checking the number of signatures and ensuring each signature corresponds to the correct public key in the message's account addresses array
