Solana co-founder proposes meta chain to fix blockchain fragmentation
Anatoly Yakovenko proposed a new data availability solution to address fragmentation and interoperability issues in blockchain networks. The concept of a "meta blockchain" aims to aggregate data from various layer-1 chains, including Ethereum, Celestia, and Solana, utilizing the most cost-effective data availability options. Data availability layers are essential for ensuring blockchains can validate transactions. Ethereum's upcoming Fusaka upgrade, set for late 2025, will enhance its capacity as a data availability layer through EIP-7594, potentially increasing its value if Layer-2 solutions continue to rely on it. Yakovenko emphasized that reducing data availability costs would lower overall transaction expenses. He proposed a system to merge transactions across chains without external sequencers. Additionally, Cardano's Charles Hoskinson highlighted the need for cooperative tokenomics in the crypto industry to foster collaboration rather than competition, advocating for the "Minotaur" protocol to unify rewards across networks.
