With blockchain and PoH, **Solana can handle up to 65,000 transactions per second (TPS), making it an excellent choice for applications that require high throughput**. Polygon, also known as Matic, is a block built as a Layer 2 scaling solution on top of the Ethereum network.

**Polygon, while not as fast as Solana**, still boasts impressive transaction speeds. It supports around 7,000 transactions per second. This speed is achieved through a combination of proof-of-stake and proof-of-authority consensus mechanisms.
