SOL — Solana

A very fast network for apps with money movement; the coin pays the fees and secures the network.

What it is for

Set out to
a single chain with high throughput and very low fees.
Today in addition
trading venues, stablecoin payments, token issuance, payment applications.
Notable
Proof of History as a built-in source of time, plus parallel processing.
Strength
high capacity with fees of a fraction of a cent.
Weakness
several documented network outages.

Contract address

Solana-Mainnet — its own chain, no contract.

The asset is the currency of its own chain and does not sit as a token on someone else’s. An empty field here would stand for a missing figure — but nothing is missing.

The four cycles

Measured on daily closing prices, never on daily highs or lows. The cycle boundaries are Bitcoin’s own highest and lowest daily closes: January 14, 2015, December 16, 2017, December 15, 2018, November 8, 2021, November 21, 2022, October 6, 2025 and the current low on June 30, 2026. A day counts only if at least ten thousand dollars were traded on it. The price against Bitcoin is given in satoshi — one satoshi is one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.
