Solana’s Co-Founder Drops Bombshell Proposal: A ’Meta Blockchain’ to End Ecosystem Fragmentation

Anatoly Yakovenko just threw a Molotov cocktail into the Layer 1 wars—his ’meta blockchain’ pitch aims to bridge Solana, Ethereum, and other chains in a single interoperable framework. Because apparently, 2025’s crypto investors still haven’t learned that ’unification’ usually means ’another governance token to dump.’

The audacious plan would let developers deploy smart contracts across chains without rewriting code—cutting through the tribal warfare that’s kept TVL locked in silos. Yakovenko’s betting big that validators will play nice in his sandbox. Good luck with that.

If executed? A game-changer for cross-chain DeFi. If not? Another bullet point for VCs to hype before the next market cycle. Either way, the gas fee jokes write themselves.

Meta Blockchain

Yakovenko suggested that a Meta transaction on Solana could include recent blocks from ethereum and Celestia. This approach would reduce uncertainty in transaction sequencing and allow users to benefit from the cheapest data availability solution.

The solana co-founder further emphasized that a fixed rule for merging transactions would ensure consistency across the system. This model could reduce reliance on centralized sequencers, which are often viewed as single points of failure in many rollup ecosystems.

In his view, an ideal system would use a protocol that automatically merges data from all connected chains without needing an external coordinator.

He said:

“A lame version of this relies on an external sequencer. I think the cooler version is just a merge rule that reads all the chains. So users can send txs anywhere.”

Feasibility challenge

While the concept has sparked interest, not everyone is convinced of its practicality.

Celestia COO Nick WHITE pushed back on the idea, noting that similar proposals, known as DA multiplexers, have long existed in theory but are rarely implemented.

According to White, such models increase operational complexity because rollups need to run nodes for each DA layer. Additionally, managing the fork-choice rules across multiple chains would significantly raise overhead, offering limited benefits in return.

However, Yakovenko remains confident that affordable and accessible data availability will lower the cost of other on-chain activities. He said:

“Making data availability cheap allows for making everything else cheap. Bandwidth is the irreducible bottleneck.”
