Crypto: Virtuals Bets Everything On Solana And Multichain

Donald Trump may have made a splash with his memecoin, but Solana didn’t need such publicity to attract attention. With its network thriving, the blockchain is seeing an influx of promising projects. Among them, Virtuals Protocol, already well established on Ethereum, is unpacking its bags on Solana. A strategic decision that could well disrupt the crypto ecosystem.

The advantage of Solana: speed, scalability, and shared vision

Virtuals Protocol did not choose Solana by chance. Famous for its lightning-fast transaction speeds and vibrant ecosystem, the blockchain attracts ambitious developers. “This is where the magic happens,” according to the Virtuals team.

Virtuals expanding to Solana is fascinating for a few reasons:

> I can’t recall any app expanding multi-chain as quickly as Virtuals. Tooling and infrastructure are now in place—something that wasn’t the case in the last cycle.

> In the long run, the chain where an app gains…

And for good reason, the integration promises:

• The creation of a strategic Solana fund, with 1% of trading fees converted into SOL to support creators;
• A Meteora Pool to strengthen liquidity;
• Subsidies of 42,000 VIRTUAL tokens aimed at Solana and Base developers.

Entrepreneur Altan Tutar praised this bold choice:

“Going where liquidity is already present means betting on a quick return. Creating one’s own chain would have taken too long.”

This reassures a market eager for rapid and concrete innovations.

Virtuals, a model for multichain crypto trading

The future is multichain. At least, that’s what experts like Sam Steffanina emphasize:

“2025 will be the year of crosschain expansion, and Virtuals sets the bar very high.”

Virtuals expanding to Solana is bigger than most realize.

obviously perfect timing by @virtuals_io to tap into Solana's momentum.

they're diving head first with a
– Meteora Pool launch
– Strategic SOL Reserve (1% of trading fees → SOL)
– 42K $VIRTUAL token grants for…

With its hackathon in collaboration with Solana Foundation scheduled for March, Virtuals is not just making promises; it is mobilizing.

By launching this strategy, the platform is doing more than integrating. It demonstrates that crypto applications can now be deployed across multiple blockchains with newfound agility.

As Tutar points out, “infrastructures are finally up to par, making these transitions smooth and efficient.”

And that’s not all: this positioning also paves the way for an eventual Virtuals-owned chain. Inspired by models like Uniswap, the platform could eventually verticalize its infrastructure, further solidifying its grip on the ecosystem.

Moreover, SOL has never been closer to a new record. With these structural projects and all signals green, Solana’s flagship crypto is ready to take off.
