About Solana (SOL)

Current SOL Price: $85.31 | April 27, 2026  | Market cap: $49,137,201,579.

What is SOL?

Solana is a decentralized blockchain known for fast transaction speeds and low network fees. Launched in 2020, it serves as the infrastructure for thousands of apps and services. Its native token, SOL (pronounced “Sooo-uhl”), is used for:

- Paying network transaction fees

- Staking and collateral

- Participating in the Solana ecosystem

What are Solana smart contracts?

On Solana, smart contracts are automated programs that execute transactions or functions once given conditions are met. For example, sending 1 SOL to an address can trigger a contract to instantly transfer a digital collectible (NFT).

All transactions are permanently recorded on Solana’s secure blockchain. Traditional smart contracts are unchangeable after being published, though some can be upgraded to add new features or fix issues when required.

How does DeFi impact the price of SOL?

DeFi apps are one of Solana’s top uses, allowing you to buy, sell, trade, lend, and stake SOL directly, without banks or brokers. To get started, just connect to a leading crypto wallet like MetaMask.

DeFi is a global financial system that is open to anyone, anywhere, around the clock as a worldwide alternative to traditional finance.

Bridging crypto across chains allows you to move tokens from one network to another. With MetaMask, bridging Solana (SOL) is easy, secure, and cost-effective. Our aggregator finds the most efficient routes to move your digital assets from one chain to another. And with cross-chain swapping, bridging and swapping can take place at the same time in a single transaction. Meaning: instead of bridging one token from chain A and wrapping or unwrapping it on chain B, you can swap one token from chain A to a second token on chain B, all in one move.
With Solana, you can send and receive SOL, the network’s native token, and use it to pay transaction fees or stake for rewards. Solana’s high-speed, low-cost blockchain also lets you access decentralized apps for trading, lending, borrowing, gaming, and NFTs. You can mint or trade NFTs, participate in DeFi protocols, and even bridge assets between Solana and other blockchains, all while benefiting from quick transactions and low fees.
