8 of the 9 facts compared. Checked 2026-08-23. Nothing below is a preference: each cell is a value from one of the two records, and the last column is how to read it rather than what to conclude from it.
| Fact | NEAR Protocol | Solana | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chain | NEAR | Solana | The network the cashier actually settles on. Where two assets share a chain they share its fee market and its outages. |
| What the asset is | Native coin of NEAR | Native coin of Solana | A native coin has a chain of its own. A token lives inside someone else's, which is how a deposit gets sent over the wrong network and lost. |
| Confirmation time | 600 ms blocks with 1.2-second finality | ≈400 ms per slot | The chain's own cadence. The casino then applies its own confirmation count on top, and that is what you wait for. |
| Network fee | Gas in yoctoNEAR, with most of the fee burnt and part rebated to contracts | 5,000 lamports (≈0.000005 SOL) per signature, plus any priority fee | What the network charges. The operator's withdrawal fee is charged separately and is frequently the larger of the two. |
| Address format | A named account such as alice.near, or a 64-character implicit hex account | Base58-encoded 32-byte ed25519 public key, 32–44 characters | The shape the cashier shows you. Two chains with similar-looking addresses are the ones a mis-send happens between. |
| Settlement | Final at 1.2 seconds; query the finalised state, not the latest | Commitment levels: processed, confirmed, then finalized | When the transfer stops being reversible, which is not the same event as a block appearing. |
| Wallets we verified | None verified | Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Ledger, Trust Wallet | A wallet is listed for a chain only where we read that chain on the wallet's own site. None verified means unchecked, not unsupported. |
| Listed casinos documenting it | 0 | 8 | Casinos in the Solaspins directory whose own record documents the asset. Not a count of casinos on the internet that take it. |
What is the
same.
Dropping these rows would make the comparison look sharper than it is. They are the rows where switching from one to the other changes nothing, and on a page that exists to answer "which one", that is as much of the answer as the differences are.
| Fact | NEAR Protocol | Solana | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memo or tag | Not needed | Not needed | A missing tag on a chain that requires one is the single most common way a casino deposit goes missing. |
Rows that
prove nothing.
These values differ between any two records by construction, so this page prints them for checking and counts them for nothing. A comparison that treated an identifier as a finding could manufacture a difference between any two entities on the site, which is precisely how a doorway page gets built by accident.
| Fact | NEAR Protocol | Solana | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ticker | NEAR | SOL | An identifier, not a finding. Two tickers always differ, and that is not a reason to prefer either asset. |
Read either one
in full.
This page holds no fact of its own. Every value above is on one of the two pages below, next to the source it was read from and the date it was read.
NEAR Protocol (NEAR) and Solana (SOL). Where a row above reads "not documented", the record says the same thing and says why — we hold no account at any operator and we do not reprint a figure we have not seen published.
Questions about
this pairing.
Is NEAR Protocol or Solana better?
Solaspins publishes no scores and picks no winner. This page lists what the two records document differently and what they document identically, so the trade-off is yours to weigh against how you actually play.
What differs between NEAR Protocol and Solana?
8 of the 9 compared facts. Chain: NEAR against Solana. The full table is on this page.
Where do these figures come from?
Each chain's own documentation, read on the date shown on that chain's page. No figure here is a casino's description of a network.
Nothing on this page was written for it. Both columns are generated from the two registry records named above, so this comparison cannot disagree with either page it compares, and it cannot go stale while they are updated. Last verified 2026-08-23.
