Keep detailed records of every transaction, including date, amount, fair market value in CAD, and counterparty.

About Solana

A high-throughput smart-contract platform built for speed and low fees.

Solana is a layer-1 blockchain launched in 2020 by Anatoly Yakovenko. It is designed for high throughput — Solana can process thousands of transactions per second with sub-second finality and transaction fees typically below one cent. Solana uses a unique combination of proof-of-stake and "proof of history" to order transactions efficiently. The network has experienced occasional outages but has improved significantly in stability since 2023.

Solana hosts a large ecosystem of DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and consumer-facing applications. Its low fees make it popular for high-frequency trading, in-game economies, and consumer payments. Major exchanges, wallets, and platforms support SOL natively. Solana spot ETFs are available in Canada and were filed for approval in the US in 2024.
