<p>Launched only in 2020, Solana is one of those layer 1 blockchains that already enjoys a certain level of recognition in the crypto market. In an interview, its co-founder even goes as far as declaring that Solana has the potential to be the Apple of crypto.</p>

  “<em>Solana has everything it takes to be the Apple of crypto,</em>” says Raj Gokal (Source:<a href="https://twitter.com/TechCrunch/status/1663199518739906561" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> https://twitter.com/TechCrunch/status/1663199518739906561</a>)

<p>Interviewed by TechCrunch on May 29, Raj Gokal didn’t hesitate to compare Solana to the American multinational company, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/apple-et-la-crypto-une-relation-conflictuelle-des-le-depart/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Apple</a>. According to him, his blockchain could very well rival the success of the hardware specialist. He explains that Apple’s success relies on two things:&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
 <li>user experience&nbsp;</li>
 <li>performance</li>
</ul>
<p>“<em>Solana shares these two principles,</em>” he stated during the <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/29/solanas-crypto-raj-gokal-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">interview</a>, adding, “<em>Creating a seamless user experience is the secret to the success of any platform, be it a smartphone or a blockchain network.</em>”</p>
<p>According to the blockchain’s co-founder, Solana has always strived to create a network “<em>that resembles the regular internet, even though it’s an entirely new financial internet.</em>” To achieve this, they focus on building a fast, efficient, and scalable network. But that’s not all! The blockchain also aims to develop a user-friendly and accessible <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/solana-ameliorera-les-mises-a-niveau-du-reseau-pour-une-stabilite-accrue/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">network</a> for everyone.</p>
<p>Solana thus offers its users various products and services that facilitate access to platforms and all sorts of crypto applications.</p>
<h2 id="h-is-the-blockchain-trying-to-compete-with-apple-with-its-saga">Is the blockchain trying to compete with Apple with its “Saga”?</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.cointribune.com/solana-revolutionne-la-blockchain-avec-le-smartphone-saga/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Saga</a> is a Web3-focused Android smartphone launched in April by the Solana blockchain. Essentially, Saga allows its users to experience decentralized applications in a different way.</p>
<p>Although not explicitly expressed, Gokal made it clear that Solana’s Saga smartphone is not afraid to compete with Apple products.</p>
<p>For many members of the crypto community, this is quite a bold vision. Only time will tell if Solana will live up to its claim. Currently, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/cours-crypto/solana-sol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the SOL token</a> holds the eighth position in terms of market capitalization.</p>
