A look into Solana, high throughput blockchain - 5:45pm sharp

Solana is a blockchain platform for decentralized apps. It's an open-source project maintained by the Geneva-based Solana Foundation, and built by developers at San Francisco-based Solana Labs.

Solana rivals Ethereum, which is currently the largest decentralized apps platform, by promising faster operation and lower transaction fees. It is a PoS (proof of stake) blockchain, which makes it more environmentally friendly than PoW (proof of work) blockchains such as Bitcoin. Its native cryptocurrency is also called Solana and has the ticker SOL.

Solana's price rise has been astounding. Someone who has participated in the Solana ICO (initial coin offering — a way to crowdfund a project by selling project tokens) was able to buy SOL for $0.22. The price per SOL is now $208 — a 95,000 percent increase.

Entry Notes:
The meeting is on Level 2, The Palace, Powerledger Boardroom, 108 St George's Tce.

108 St Georges is both the office tower and a historic building. The meeting is in the historic building that you enter through a fancy looking door on St Georges, nearest to intersection with William St.

The building locks at 6pm sharp so late arrivals won't be able to get in.
