Solana's meta blockchain aims to merge data from multiple chains into one consistent, time-ordered history without creating a new network.
The protocol lets users select the cheapest available data layer, enhancing flexibility and reducing operational costs across applications.
Active usage on Solana remains high, with significant whale activity reflecting continued interest despite short-term market fluctuations.
Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has proposed a new concept called a meta blockchain. This framework will allow data to be posted across several chains, including Ethereum, Celestia, and Solana. The data will then be merged into a single, time-ordered sequence using a predefined rule.
The proposal outlines that applications and users can choose the most affordable data availability (DA) option at any moment. This flexibility aims to reduce operational costs and improve blockchain efficiency. Yakovenko emphasized that bandwidth, not computation, remains the main constraint. Hence, minimizing DA costs significantly affects the broader blockchain system.
Mechanism for cross-chain data alignment
Under Yakovenko’s model, a MetaTX (meta transaction) posted on Solana would reference the latest observed block headers from other chains like Ethereum and Celestia. This ensures that the transaction is correctly sequenced after those chains. The method helps create a consistent, globally ordered history from decentralized sources without requiring a new standalone network.

A developer, identified as Belac, suggested a peer-to-peer model where users earn by sharing historical block data, comparing it to torrent systems. Yakovenko responded that his concept does not align with that direction. Instead, the key idea is to follow a shared rule for merging data without creating a separate network structure.
Application flexibility in L1 ecosystems
Yakovenko also highlighted that Layer 1 protocols should enable flexibility for developers. If an L1 restricts experimentation, applications may switch to more accommodating ecosystems. Allowing app-level differentiation is seen as essential for long-term platform success.
According to on-chain analytics by Nansen, Solana recorded 24.26 million active addresses in the past week, the highest among public blockchains. Onchain Lens also reported that a whale recently unstacked over 103,000 SOL, worth $17.7 million. The same entity still holds more than 3.36 million SOL, valued at approximately $584 million.
At the time of the report, Solana’s native token was trading at $171.57, marking a 3.89% decline over 24 hours. Despite the dip, the asset has gained 88% in value over four weeks, rising from below $100.
