What is Solana?

Solana (SOL) is a third-generation layer 1 open-source blockchain that supports a variety of DeFi solutions, including decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts.

Also called the “Ethereum killer”, Solana differs from other blockchain technologies because of their use of a hybrid consensus algorithm that combines proof-of-history (PoH) with proof-of-stake (PoS), allowing the network to carry out up to 50,000 per second.

Solana was released in 2020 and created by Anatoly Yakovenko and Greg Fitzgerald.

Why Solana?

Solana(SOL) uses a diverse set of technologies so it doesn’t have to rely on sharding or any other type of layer 2 solution to maintain its speed and scalability. This allows developers to build directly on the blockchain, which is thousands of times faster than working on Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Solana’s native token (SOL) works similarly to how ETH is used on Ethereum, but instead holders stake the token in order to validate transactions through the PoS mechanism. This enables users to participate in governance processes, receive rewards, and pay gas fees.

The network has had unprecedented growth, onboarding multiple projects to their platform, including Chainlink, USDC, USDT, Serum, Terra, and several others.

Very happy how much easier it is to transfer money via e-transfer. I’ve tried three other apps and by far this one will be the one I’m using long term. Other apps took 3-5 days to transfer funds. Never longer then 2 hours money is ready to trade!

This is the most user-friendly app for crypto, I have found. Transactions are fast simple, and painless. Deduction fees are almost nothing no complicated, wallets, or secondary apps. I’ve tried 30 crypto apps, and this one is by far my favorite.

What a spectacular app for us Canadians. Been using it for three years and it’s been wonderful. You can buy crypto easy and you can put it back in to your bank account in a minute (literally). But you shouldn’t do that as you should HODL!! Thanks Newton ❤️

Why have some coins been delisted?

Coins are rarely delisted, but when they are there, it’s usually due to one of two reasons: technical support or regulatory concerns.

As Newton is dependent on our liquidity providers and other service providers to allow us to properly support a coin, there are instances where one or more of our service providers advise us that, for various reasons, they are unable to continue to provide us with this support.  When that happens with a coin, we are unable to support it any longer and we are forced to delist the coin.

Other times, the regulatory environment can change, or new facts surrounding a coin’s ecosystem may surface or change. Newton is required to keep a close eye on regulatory pronouncements and the regulatory environment of our listed coins, not just in Canada, but internationally as well for regulatory issues that may require us to reconsider whether we need to delist certain coins.  For example, the terms of our order explicitly require us to review and continually ensure that we don’t list any coins that would qualify as a “security” or a “derivative” under Canadian securities laws.   As a result, Newton may elect to delist a coin when it is undergoing additional scrutiny by regulators.

We do our best to give Newton users as much notice as possible when we’re delisting coins, and also typically stage the de-listing in phases.

FINTRAC#: M22831006
How does Newton decide what coins to launch?

Newton takes a number of different inputs into consideration when we launch a coin. First, we try to launch coins that our customers want! Then, we conduct due diligence to ensure that the coin is reputable and safe. Finally, we have to ensure our trading and custody providers support the coin.

If you want to make a suggestion, join our Discord and chime in on the #suggestions channel!

FINTRAC#: M22831006
Why are funding and withdrawals disabled for some coins?

When we add a new cryptocurrency to our platform, initially we limit functionality to trading only. Usually funding and withdrawals are opened up within a few weeks.

FINTRAC#: M22831006
How often does Newton add new coins?

All the time! We try to launch a coin at least once a month, but sometimes it’s more often. We support 70+ coins.
