Part 3/9:
Solana's unique capacity to handle more transactions daily than both Ethereum and its Layer 2 solutions, coupled with its ability to scale up to 2 million transactions per second (TPS) on modern hardware, amplifies its appeal. Unlike platforms reliant on sharding or layering, Solana operates as a single Global State machine. This architecture fosters a level of composability that significantly reduces operational costs and improves execution speeds for applications within its ecosystem.
