    1. 0.2. How PoH Works
    2. 0.4. Why PoH Is Significant

Proof of History (PoH) is a blockchain consensus innovation that creates a verifiable timeline of events, allowing networks to order transactions efficiently and securely.

How PoH Works

PoH generates a historical record that proves an event occurred at a specific moment in time. It uses cryptographic timestamps to sequence transactions before they’re confirmed by a consensus protocol. By pre-ordering events, PoH drastically reduces the time validators need to reach agreement, making the network faster and more scalable.

Why PoH Is Significant

PoH is a key component of Solana’s high-performance blockchain. It enables rapid transaction processing by separating timekeeping from consensus, helping the network handle thousands of transactions per second. This approach supports real-time applications like DeFi and gaming while maintaining decentralization and trust.
