Why Solana?

Leveraging the Solana Network

Sol Sprint is built on the Solana blockchain, chosen for its scalability, low transaction costs, and high-speed performance. Solana’s infrastructure makes it an ideal choice for a seamless multiplayer game like Sol Sprint. Despite market volatility, the Solana ecosystem continues to demonstrate resilience, with strong developer activity and community engagement.

  • High Throughput: Solana can process thousands of transactions per second, ensuring smooth gameplay even during peak activity.

  • Low Latency: Near-instant transaction finality enhances responsiveness, critical for real-time gaming.

  • Minimal Fees: Players can engage in frequent races without financial strain, thanks to Solana’s negligible transaction costs.

Sustained Growth in New Wallet Addresses on Solana (Jan 2024 – Present)

Rising wallet creation signals increasing user adoption and real demand, reinforcing Solana’s expanding ecosystem amid surging dApp and DeFi activity.

The recent surge in dApp and DeFi activities is causing a rise in daily transactions, and while congestion is occasionally visible, Solana’s team continues to optimize throughput and cost structures.

TPS Capacity vs Avg actual usage

The network now processes 30 to 70 million non-vote transactions each day, reflecting genuine user demand, and up to 200 to 300 million vote transactions for consensus, demonstrating ample capacity. Sol Sprint is built to adapt alongside these ongoing enhancements.

Building on Sonic

Sol Sprint is built on Sonic to optimise the gaming experience. As a sovereign game chain designed for blockchain-based gaming, Sonic provides several advantages:

  • Customisability: Sonic allows Sol Sprint to tailor its blockchain environment for optimal gaming performance.

  • Efficient Transactions: Built-in tools for rapid settlement of wagers and in-game purchases ensure a frictionless experience for players.

  • Scalability: Sonic’s architecture supports a growing player base and increasingly complex game mechanics without sacrificing performance.

In the event of further spikes in traffic or transaction pings, Sonic ensures that Sol Sprint remains unaffected, maintaining a reliable gameplay environment.
