Solana is a high-performance layer 1 blockchain that prioritizes low fees, scalability, and fast transaction finality. The network uses a proof of stake (PoS) consensus mechanism coupled with its own proprietary Proof of History (PoH) consensus mechanism. The network has smart contract capabilities, which allow for dApps, DeFi, and NFTs. Tokens built on Solana are SPL tokens, whereas Ethereum tokens utilize the ERC20 standard. SOL is the native token of the network and used to pay nodes in a cluster to run onchain programs, validate their outputs, stake/secure the network, and transact. Solana smart contracts support code in Rust and C/C++.

Perp DEX design has been a sequence of compromises: AMM perps preserved Ethereum composability but concentrated LP risk, hybrids regained CEX-like latency with onchain settlement, and specialized chains delivered fully onchain CLOB performance while isolating liquidity away from Ethereum’s $122B DeFi collateral. ZKsync Atlas is the next step, enabling sub-second proof finality and cross-domain margin so venues like Grvt and Lighter can access L1-native collateral without bridging, shifting the competitive axis from pure speed to unified liquidity.

Daylight Energy (FKA React Energy), has secured $75M in new financing to accelerate deployment of distributed energy infrastructure, including $15M in equity and a $60M project development facility. This capital structure mirrors the protocol's design by separating growth capital from infrastructure financing. The company currently operates across a handful of US states including Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, installing solar panels, batteries, and smart devices through Energy Subscriptions with no upfront cost to homeowners.
