## Why Solana?

> See more detailed explaination [here](https://book.solmeet.dev/notes/solana-starter-kit#why-solana)

- It's a new blockchain paradigm evolved from Ethereum (more or less)
- It's blazing fast and efficient, meaning it will be cheap and affordable for average users
- It's a good investment on modern web technology (Rust / Typescript, etc)
