If there’s a cryptocurrency rivaling Ether, it’s Solana. The Solana blockchain network hosts different decentralized apps, or dApps, much like the Ethereum blockchain network, but claims to be faster and cheaper than Ethereum.

The native Solana token has been among the top 10 cryptocurrencies for years and often jumps when the price of Bitcoin rises.

Solana was hovering around $140 on Thursday,up 462% in a year.
