Choice of Solana

The choice of Solana as the blockchain for NAEST represents a crucial strategic decision in building a robust and highly scalable ecosystem for sustainable transport and mobility. This selection is based on several distinctive features of Solana that make it an ideal platform for NAEST's ambitions.

Exceptional Performance

Solana stands out for its ability to process an impressive number of transactions per second. Thanks to its innovative architecture, particularly Proof of History (PoH) and Tower BFT, Solana can handle over 65,000 transactions per second. This exceptional speed ensures a smooth user experience, essential for transport and mobility applications that require real-time interactions.

Reduced Transaction Costs

Transaction fees on Solana are remarkably low, with a median of only 0.00064 SOL per transaction (as of November 2024). This advantageous cost structure allows NAEST to offer services accessible to a wide audience, regardless of their financial situation, thus promoting mass adoption of sustainable mobility solutions.

Energy Efficiency

Solana's Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism is significantly more energy-efficient than traditional Proof of Work systems. This approach aligns perfectly with NAEST's vision for sustainability, minimizing the carbon footprint of the underlying blockchain infrastructure.

Innovative Architecture

Solana's architecture incorporates several technological innovations that contribute to its exceptional performance:

• Proof of History (PoH): This unique innovation functions as a cryptographic clock, significantly reducing the time needed to validate transactions.

• Turbine: This data broadcast protocol optimizes information propagation across the network, improving scalability.

• Gulf Stream: This feature reduces pressure on validator memories, allowing for faster transactions.

• Sealevel: Solana's parallel processing engine enables simultaneous execution of multiple smart transactions.

Thriving Ecosystem

Solana benefits from a rapidly growing ecosystem, with an active developer community and numerous decentralized applications (DApps) already in place. This ecosystem richness offers NAEST opportunities for collaboration and integration with other innovative projects in the mobility sector and beyond.

Scalability and Evolutivity

Solana's ability to scale without compromising decentralization or security is a major asset for NAEST. This scalability allows for significant growth in the use of sustainable mobility services without fearing technical limitations.

By choosing Solana, NAEST ensures a solid technological foundation capable of supporting rapid growth and providing a first-class user experience. This strategic decision positions NAEST at the forefront of innovation in the field of sustainable mobility, combining the advantages of blockchain technology with the imperatives of performance, accessibility, and environmental respect.
