Solana, a key player in the cryptocurrency world, has been the center of many discussions, especially concerning the adoption of Layer2 (L2) solutions. Anatoly Yakovenko, the co-founder of Solana, recently clarified the blockchain’s core mission and its stance on Layer2 solutions.
Yakovenko made a definitive statement, dismissing the necessity of Layer2 solutions for Solana, labeling them irrelevant to the blockchain’s primary objective. The blockchain aims to expand its atomic global state machine, a complex system designed to increase efficiency and scalability. While Layer2 solutions like side chains and zero-knowledge proofs are innovative and welcomed, they don’t contribute to the expansion of the blockchain’s atomic global state machine.
Developers are not prohibited from creating Layer2 solutions on Solana. However, Solana’s goal is to synchronize a global atomic state machine as quickly as the laws of physics allow. This focus emphasizes enhancing the blockchain’s Layer1 capabilities rather than relying on external execution environments that may not ensure seamless integration with the Layer1 state. Yakovenko concluded that Solana is focused on continuing to scale Layer 1 directly, enhancing the single virtual machine instance on that Layer 1, hopefully, with just hardware upgrades in the future.
Solana’s journey has not been without challenges, particularly concerning the security of its ecosystem. Recently, the blockchain has been confronted with the threat of ‘wallet drainers,’ malicious entities that exploit vulnerabilities to siphon funds from users’ crypto wallets. Reports indicate that around 6,000 wallet drainers are active, posing significant risks to SOL investors. Despite these security concerns, SOL has demonstrated robust growth. The blockchain’s native token surged over 50% recently, trading above $100.
This bullish trend underscores the growing interest and confidence in the blockchain’s technology and potential. However, the past week has seen a slight downturn, with a 7.1% decline in SOL’s value. In response to the wallet drainer issue, Wallet Guard has stepped in to protect against these threats with new features specifically targeting SOL drainers.
