description: >-
  Solana is a high-performance blockchain platform designed for fast, secure, and scalable decentralized
  applications and marketplaces. It exposes a JSON-RPC 2.0 API over HTTP and WebSocket for querying
  accounts, transactions, programs, token balances, blocks, and cluster state, as well as submitting
  and simulating transactions. Three public clusters are available — Mainnet, Devnet, and Testnet —
  with dedicated API nodes for each environment.
