# Introduction

### Solana - a lightening fast blockchain

In this section, I will be writing about **Solana** blockchain. Solana blockchain works on proof of history mechanism.

It works this way, each node has a verifiable delay function. When a leader node produces a block using special block time sequentially, all the nodes in the network validate the block using verifiable delay function.

Think of this as a snapshot of photos. Suppose if you click a burst of photos , even if you jumble them up, you could align them up in the proper manner by looking at them actions performed in each snapshot of the photo.
