# Why Solana?

ASSETRA is built on the Solana blockchain, chosen for its exceptional performance and alignment with the platform’s vision. Solana’s high-throughput architecture handles thousands of transactions per second, enabling rapid tokenization and trading of real-world assets.\
\
This scalability supports ASSETRA’s global ambitions without performance bottlenecks. Solana’s low transaction fees—often fractions of a cent—align with ASSETRA’s cost-effective model, with platform fees ranging from 0.3–0.5%.\
\
The blockchain’s energy-efficient Proof-of-History consensus promotes sustainability, appealing to eco-conscious investors. Solana’s robust ecosystem, including developer tools and token extensions, enables advanced features like programmable royalties and compliance mechanisms.\
\
Its security and reliability ensure transparent, immutable records of asset ownership, fostering trust. For technical details, refer to the [Solana Developer Resources](https://solana.com/developers).\

By leveraging Solana’s capabilities, ASSETRA delivers a fast, affordable, and scalable platform for tokenizing and trading RWAs, positioning it as a leader in blockchain-based asset management. Learn more at [assetrarwa.com](https://assetrarwa.com).
