Solana’s (SOL) Virtual Machine (SVM) is emerging as a pivotal component in the rapidly evolving landscape of modular blockchains. Unlike Ethereum Layer 1s that rely on existing developer bases and liquidity, Solana’s SVM rollups are taking a unique approach. By targeting Ethereum and Bitcoin liquidity while attracting new developers skilled in Rust, C++, and other mainstream languages, Solana is positioning itself as a leader in this space.
A recent report by Delphi Digital highlights Solana’s growing influence beyond its native ecosystem. As the industry shifts towards modularity, Solana’s components, including its SVM and consensus mechanism, are becoming valuable building blocks for other blockchains. The report emphasizes several key takeaways:
- Decoupling of SVM and Validator Clients: This recent development opens up new possibilities for modularity, allowing the SVM to be integrated into various configurations.
- Attracting Developers and Liquidity: Solana’s SVM rollups aim to attract developers and liquidity from Ethereum and Bitcoin, expanding its reach beyond its native ecosystem.
- Support for Mainstream Languages: The SVM’s support for Rust, C++, and other popular languages makes it attractive to a wider range of developers.
- Versatility of Solana’s Consensus Mechanism: Solana’s consensus mechanism can be used to sequence rollups on other chains, demonstrating its versatility.
- L2 Need and SVM-Based Rollups: Solana’s own need for Layer 2 solutions is driving the development of SVM-based rollups, further strengthening its position in the modular landscape.

Solana ETFs Gain Momentum
In other news, Solana’s growing popularity has led to increased interest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Brazil’s securities regulator has recently approved the second Solana ETF, issued by Hashdex in partnership with BTG Pactual. With over $962 million in assets under management, this ETF is a significant addition to the Solana ecosystem. Earlier this year, the first Solana spot ETF was also approved by the CVM.
As Solana continues to gain traction and its technology becomes more widely adopted, its SVM is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of modular blockchains. By offering a high-performance virtual machine that can be integrated into various configurations, Solana is attracting developers and liquidity from other ecosystems. This expansion not only benefits Solana but also contributes to the broader development of modular blockchain technology.
