The legend

Two pizzas made crypto history.

On May 22, 2010, someone paid 10,000 coins for two pizzas, the first time crypto bought real food. It took four days to find a taker.

Back then

Money moved slowly.

One confirmation could take about ten minutes. Fine for a payment, painful for a pizza.

Then Solana arrives.

A chain built for speed, adding a new block roughly every 400 milliseconds.

The order

Pay for a pizza in SOL.

Scan, tap, done. The payment settles before the cashier finishes saying thank you.

The fee

Cheaper than a crumb.

A basic Solana fee is 5,000 lamports, a tiny fraction of a cent. That's Pizza Day, the Solana way.

How small can a slice get?

One SOL splits into a billion lamports, named after computer scientist Leslie Lamport. Zoom from a whole pizza down to a single lamport.
