# 2.2 Performance & Speed

**Dredit is engineered to operate at the speed of modern life. We harness the high-throughput capabilities of the Solana blockchain to overcome the critical latency, cost, and scalability issues that limit both traditional finance and earlier-generation blockchains. The result is a seamless and efficient financial experience, accessible to anyone, anywhere.**

**Near-Instantaneous Settlement**

In a world of instant communication, waiting days for a financial transaction to clear is unacceptable. Dredit leverages Solana's unique Proof-of-History (PoH) consensus mechanism to achieve transaction finality in seconds. By bypassing the slow and inefficient network of intermediary banks and clearinghouses, Dredit facilitates real-time fund transfers globally. Whether you are paying a merchant or remitting funds to family overseas, your transaction is settled almost instantly.

**High Scalability**

A network is only as strong as its ability to grow. The Dredit protocol is built to handle massive transaction volumes without sacrificing speed or increasing costs for the user. Solana's architecture allows for tens of thousands of transactions per second (TPS), ensuring that our platform remains highly responsive and affordable, even during periods of peak demand. This prevents the network congestion and exorbitant fees that can render other platforms unusable, guaranteeing a smooth experience as our user base expands.

**Borderless by Design**

Dredit was created for a truly global and interconnected world. Our platform is inherently borderless, facilitating frictionless cross-border transactions without the typical constraints of the legacy financial system. Users can send and receive funds globally with minimal fees and without the need for costly currency conversions or jurisdictional intermediaries. This democratizes access to financial services, fostering economic empowerment and enabling a new era of global commerce.
