# Built on Solana

Solana is a secure, censorship resistant and incredibly fast blockchain network. Its amazing features provide The Glorious Giraffes NFT the open infrastructure required for global scaling.Glorious Team truly believes that Solana currently is the best performing blockchains on the market.  

### **Transactions Speed**

Solana is an unstoppable force that crushes competition in terms of transactions per second (TPS). On average, other networks can only handle 15-45 TPS and it takes 10-15 seconds for them to process one transaction. 

### **Transaction Costs**

Every transaction has a fee paid to the computers that process them. This fee varies from blockchain to blockchain. Again, it's not close. Solana is significantly cheaper than others at an average cost per transaction is equal approximately $0.00025.

### **Fast Ecosystem Expansion**

Solana simply doesn't have challenges, cost, speed, and more like and is hosting a list of DApps and smart contracts growing exponentially. Solana also has the potential to support more coins than others. Solana's ecosystem will eventually leave behind different agents in both variety and sheer numbers at the current rate of expansion.

### Good for Environment <a href="#good-for-environment" id="good-for-environment"></a>

The process of mining some crypto currencies called blocks is called Proof of Work (PoW), which takes up a lot of computing power and leads to high electricity use. Some representatives consume more energy than Israel and Belgium per year, contributing significantly to global warming. Solana uses Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of History (PoH) algorithms, which are 99.9% more energy-efficient than PoW. Solana is simply better for the environment which makes it a much more appealing alternative to its users and environmental groups.
