Solana is entering a strategic détente with other major layer-1 networks, aiming to replace the current patchwork of payment channels with a coherent, cross-chain framework for institutions.

The group aims to create unified technical and compliance standards for blockchain-based payments.

The coalition marks a significant departure from the typical ecosystem tribalism that has defined the sector.
