By proof of history, a distributed clock that unlocks low latency sub-second finality. Solana is capable of processing tens of thousands of smart contracts at once. What does that mean? It means that developers can build applications with super low transaction fees and low latency without compromising composability since it's all on one single chain with a global state. For listeners who have been living under a rock, Solana is a global state machine and the world's most performant blockchain.
