MakerDAO Co-Founder Rune Sees Solana As The Most Promising Codebase

Key Points:

• Solana’s codebase is the most promising option for NewChain development.
• MakerDAO could benefit from Solana’s ecosystem and developer talent.
• A Two-Stage Gravity Bridge would connect two of the biggest blockchains.

MakerDAO’s Co-Founder, Rune Post, has proposed exploring a fork of Solana’s codebase for the development of a new independent blockchain, NewChain.

After researching all the different options available, Post believes that Solana’s technical quality and highly optimized codebase make it the most promising option to explore further. In addition, the ecosystem has proven its resilience and has a significant developer community. There are also examples of the codebase being forked and adapted to act as appchains, such as the pyth project.

Using a fork of the codebase would allow MakerDAO to build a symbiotic relationship with the existing ecosystem. They would be able to tap into the large pool of developer talent available and potentially fund and maintain an independent client to boost the baseline resilience of the ecosystem.

In addition, a Two-Stage Gravity Bridge from NewChain to Solana alongside the bridge from NewChain to Ethereum would provide the Solana mainnet access to native Maker DeFi features and capital. This would also boost the network effect of the entire multichain economy by connecting two of the biggest blockchains with a highly secure bridge, enabling tighter and more security-dependent integrations between the two economies.
