Solana Co-Founder Proposes Meta Blockchain to Tackle Cross-Chain Fragmentation and Boost Interoperability

today / 11:32

Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has proposed a new concept dubbed the 'Meta Blockchain' aimed at solving interoperability and data availability challenges across different blockchain networks. Announced in a recent X post, this 'meta chain' would aggregate and order data posted across multiple layer-1 networks, including Ethereum, Celestia, and Solana.

The solution is designed to allow applications and developers to access the cheapest data availability (DA) layer dynamically, potentially lowering costs and increasing transactional efficiency. The meta blockchain would act as a unified decentralized ledger, consolidating cross-chain information and offering developers flexibility to select optimal DA solutions according to real-time network conditions.

This proposal comes as other prominent blockchain networks are also enhancing their DA solutions. Ethereum plans to improve its own data capacity through the upcoming Fusaka upgrade (introducing EIP-7594) in late 2025, which could affect its role as a preferred DA layer for various rollups.

Prominent industry figures, such as Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, have also underscored the need for collaborative tokenomics and interoperability among major blockchains to foster cohesive industry growth amid rising competition from traditional tech firms.

Yakovenko’s meta blockchain idea has generated early interest among Layer 1 and Layer 2 developers, especially in modular blockchain innovation, signaling a potential shift toward more interconnected and scalable networks.
