# Why Solana

Soccer Fun is built on Solana because a real-time, mass-market game demands a blockchain that can keep up. Solana offers the performance characteristics essential for a seamless player experience:

* **Speed**
  * Sub-second transaction confirmations make rewards, purchases, and asset transfers feel instant.
* **Low Cost**
  * Negligible transaction fees mean players keep more of what they earn and never face prohibitive gas costs for small in-game actions.
* **Scalability**
  * High throughput supports a growing global player base and frequent tournaments without congestion.
* **Ecosystem**
  * Access to Solana's large, active wallet ecosystem and mature tooling for tokens, NFTs, and wallet integrations.

Together, these qualities make Solana the ideal foundation for a play-to-earn game where transactions happen constantly and the experience must remain smooth, cheap, and reliable.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.funsoccerworld.app/why-solana.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
