Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko proposed a new data availability solution aimed at tackling persistent fragmentation and lack of interoperability across blockchain networks.<\/p>\n
In a May 12 post on X, Yakovenko proposed a \u201cmeta blockchain,\u201d that could aggregate and order data posted across multiple layer-1 chains, including Ethereum, Celestia and Solana.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis would actually allow the meta chain to use cheapest currently available DA offer,\u201d Yakovenko said. <\/p>\n
Data availability<\/a> (DA) layers are third-party solutions ensuring that blockchains have the necessary data to validate transactions.<\/p>\n Source: Anatoly <\/em>Yakovenko<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Blockchain interoperability<\/a> is one of the most pressing issues for Web3 developers, since today\u2019s siloed layer-1 (L1) blockchain<\/a> networks have no means of communicating or exchanging data with each other, creating a need for crosschain interoperability solutions<\/a> like DA layers.<\/p>\n Other leading blockchains are also focused on improving DA solutions. Ethereum\u2019s upcoming Fusaka<\/a> upgrade, expected in late 2025, will focus on scaling the Ethereum mainnet\u2019s capacity as a DA layer by introducing EIP-7594.<\/p>\n Ethereum data capacity upgrades.

Bandwidth is the irreducible bottleneck.\u201d<\/p>\n He also suggested that a more advanced solution could eliminate external sequencers by using a rule-based system to merge transactions across chains, allowing users to send transactions \u201canywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n Related: <\/strong><\/em>Bunq, Europe\u2019s second-largest neobank, expands into crypto<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Other prominent blockchain industry leaders have also called for more interoperability and collaborative tokenomics among the leading blockchains.<\/p>\n Speaking at Paris Blockchain Week 2025<\/a>, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson emphasized the need for collaborative economics in the crypto industry to counter growing competition from traditional tech firms entering the blockchain space.<\/p>\nMaking data availability cheap makes \u201ceverything else cheap\u201d<\/h2>\n
