Why Solana:

Until early 2021, the Majority of the DeFi products and gaming projects were being built on Ethereum Blockchain, However, there is a huge gas fee involved in each and every transaction you make on ethereum due to proof of work. So, many users are feeling the gas fee is high and they were looking for some similar blockchain to use DeFi products which cost less gas fee. In the same way, as developers considering the aspects of users(customers) they started to build the DeFi and gaming products on Solana which runs on a proof of history consensus. As compared to Ethereum, Solana has a much higher transaction rate and very little gas fee. So interests in people and developers are slowly shifting on to Solana.
