A crypto user has gone very long on Solana, staking a very small portion of the token for the next 3,000 years, according to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence.<\/p>\n

The unknown user staked $0.05 Solana (SOL<\/a>) in 2023, and it will unlock in the year 5138, Arkham said<\/a> in an April 5 post to X.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Cointelegraph, Vincent Liu, chief investment officer at Kronos Research, said the move was likely a symbolic sign of showing conviction in Solana\u2019s long-term ecosystem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLegacy staking is more than locking assets it\u2019s a mindset. The real edge in crypto isn\u2019t in chasing short-term hype, but in holding long-term conviction assets through cycles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Adding that: \u201cthis kind of thinking builds not just portfolios, but long term legacies.\u201d<\/p>\n

SOL is currently trading for $102, according<\/a> to CoinMarketCap. A January report from asset manager Bitwise predicts<\/a> the token could be worth between $2,300 and over $6,000 by 2030.<\/p>\n

It’s impossible to know what the staked SOL will be worth by the time it\u2019s unlocked in a few thousand years, but Liu says it would likely be a significant sum.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf SOL appreciates just 2\u20135% annually, the compounding over 3,000 years becomes exponential. In any market condition, long-term compounding remains one of the most powerful financial forces,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Staking Solana for over 3 millennia <\/h2>\n

To put it into perspective, 5 cents compounded annually at a 3% annual interest rate would already result in over $486 undecillion (486 followed by 36 zeros) after 3,115 years. <\/p>\n

However, the Solana sum would likely be much higher, given staking rewards are paid out every two to three days and compounded. <\/p>\n

Users on X are speculating<\/a> that the stake could be an attempt at creating generational wealth, or a random stunt with no real long-term plan.<\/p>\n

Kadan Stadelmann, chief technology officer at blockchain platform Komodo, told Cointelegraph he thinks the \u201c3,000-year nickel play on SOL is a meme trade\u201d that will one day be stamped on the SOL blockchain.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat will 3,000 years from now look like? Will humans still be around? Will the Solana blockchain? Such a long time horizon makes one ponder one\u2019s place in the scheme of things,\u201d Stadelmann said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

He speculates people might even seek to outdo it by \u201cmaking a 5,000-year play.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the moment, depending on the platform and validator choice, Solana offers between 5% to 8% in staking rewards. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA<\/a>) starts at around 2%, and Ether (ETH)<\/a>\u00a0staking rewards are between 2% and 7%.<\/p>\n

Four Solana whales recently profited over $200 million in a staking play<\/a> that began in April 2021, when they staked 1.79 million Solana, worth $37.7 million at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A similar unlock is expected in 2028.\u00a0<\/p>\n
