According to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, a cryptocurrency user has made an ultra-long-term investment in Solana by staking a small portion of tokens for the next 3000 years.
This anonymous user staked Solana (SOL) worth $0.05 in 2023, which will unlock in the year 5138, Arkham stated in a post on the X platform on April 5.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Vincent Liu, Chief Investment Officer of Kronos Research, said this move could be a symbolic act reflecting a strong belief and confidence in the long-term ecosystem of Solana.

"Traditional staking is not just about locking up assets; it's a mindset. The real advantage in cryptocurrency is not chasing short-term speculation but holding long-term belief assets through cycles," he said. He added, "This mindset builds not only portfolios but also long-term legacies."
According to CoinMarketCap, the current trading price of SOL is $102. A report from asset management firm Bitwise in January predicted that the token could be valued between $2300 and $6000 by 2030.
It is impossible to know how much these staked SOL will be worth when they unlock thousands of years later, but Liu indicated that it could be a substantial amount.
"If SOL appreciates by just 2-5% per year, the compound interest over 3000 years will grow exponentially. Under any market conditions, long-term compounding remains one of the most powerful financial forces," he said.
To better understand, with a 3% annual compound interest rate, 5 cents will exceed 486 quindecillion (486 followed by 36 zeros) dollars after 3115 years.
However, since staking rewards are distributed and compounded every two to three days, the total amount of Solana could be even higher.
Users on the X platform speculate that this staking might be aimed at creating intergenerational wealth or could simply be a random act without any real long-term plan.

Kadan Stadelmann, Chief Technology Officer of blockchain platform Komodo, told Cointelegraph that he believes "investing 5 cents in SOL for 3000 years is a meme trade" that will forever be etched on the SOL blockchain.
"What will the world be like 3000 years from now? Will humanity still exist? Will the Solana blockchain still exist? Such a long time span makes one reflect on their place in the overall landscape," Stadelmann said.
He speculated that people might even try to surpass it by "making a 5000-year investment."
Currently, depending on the platform and validators chosen, Solana can offer staking rewards ranging from 5% to over 8%. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) can start from about 2%, while Ethereum's staking rewards typically range from 2% to 7%.
Recently, four Solana whales profited over $200 million from staking that began in April 2021, when they staked 1.79 million Solana worth $37.7 million.
Similar unlocks are expected in 2028.
