  Solana's layer 1 design is a game-changer when it comes to scalability. With its innovative approach, Solana incorporates Proof of History (PoH), Tower BFT consensus, and Gulf Stream to achieve high performance. PoH provides a verifiable record of events, allowing for efficient transaction ordering. Tower BFT consensus ensures fast finality and enables parallel processing, maximizing throughput. Gulf Stream optimizes communication between validators, reducing latency and improving overall network efficiency. These design choices make Solana a top contender in terms of scalability, capable of handling a massive number of transactions per second.
