Proof of history is Solana’s method for proving that time has passed between events by publishing a continuous chain of hashes, each computed from the last. Because the sequence cannot be produced faster than real time, validators can agree on ordering without exchanging messages to agree on timestamps. That is what lets Solana confirm blocks quickly. It works alongside proof of stake, not instead of it. Get the Solflare wallet and learn more about Solana.
