All data is stored on Solana in the form of accounts. The way data is organized on Solana resembles a key-value store, where each entry in the database is called an "account".

2. Size: It can store up to 10MB of data.
3. Rent: Storing data in accounts requires a rent deposit in SOL . The rent is proportional to the data size and is refundable when the account is closed.
4. Ownership: Each account is owned by a program, which can modify its data and balance. However, anyone can increase the balance.
