Updated 4 minutes ago
Solana is a blockchain for trading, payments and other applications. Its native SOL coin pays for transactions and helps secure the network through validator staking.
Holders delegate SOL to a chosen validator and earn rewards for supporting the network. Half of the base transaction fee is burned; the validator receives the other half and the priority fee.

Why hold SOL?
The SOL thesis rests on demand for the Solana network: the coin pays for transactions and supports A network participant that verifies transactions and helps confirm blocks using dedicated software. Validators work together under the network’s rules to determine which blocks are accepted and how balances are updated. Participating in a network with coins allocated to block validation. You can run your own validator or participate through a selected validator or service. Rewards are earned for following the network’s rules.. Application growth can strengthen that demand. Paying activity, fee distribution and new SOL issuance matter to holders.
SOL tokenomics
New issuance and burns of part of the base fee change SOL supply. Validators receive priority fees. Staking earns SOL rewards; compare its rate with supply growth and withdrawal terms.
