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.
