Blockaid Expands Onchain Monitoring Support for Solana

Blog Post
solana onchain monitoring 2

Solana is one of the most actively used blockchains in the world, with over 3 million daily active addresses and $1.7 trillion in DEX volume in 2025. The Solana chain ecosystem is fundamentally different from the EVM ecosystem that spans a broad network of L2s built on shared architecture. Solana is a high-performance L1 purpose-built for speed and throughput, and one of the leading chains for high-volume use cases like token transfers and asset transactions.

At Solana’s scale, the onchain threat surface is significant and continues to expand with every wallet, token, and dApp deployed across the ecosystem. For builders deploying protocols and dApps on Solana and for platforms integrating with it, real-time, always-on security coverage is a core requirement. Blockaid's Chain Support scales alongside Solana, helping teams integrate Solana-specific security and monitoring capabilities

What has existed: How Blockaid supports the Solana chain

Blockaid provides support to customers and partners whose platforms and users interact with the Solana ecosystem, delivering always-on, real-time coverage across four areas:

  • End User Protection — Real-time scanning of transactions, tokens, dApps, and addresses, giving platforms the intelligence to surface risk before a transaction is signed and protect users from loss of funds.
  • Onchain Monitoring — Visibility into onchain activity across assets and programs, with alerting when behavior falls outside expected bounds, enabling app owners to enforce policies that protect their infrastructure and assets.
  • Crypto Fraud Prevention — Detection of fraud patterns before funds move, helping platforms identify and act on both first-party and third-party fraud vectors.
  • Security Modules — Active enforcement tools, including Cosigner, that allow platforms to intervene directly in live transactions to block threats, enforce policy, and reduce the risk of unauthorized fund movement.

As Solana's ecosystem grows, so does the complexity of what needs to be caught. Our latest release expands what teams building and operating on Solana can detect and respond to in real time.

What’s new: Blockaid expands onchain monitoring support for Solana

As Solana evolves and adopts new standards and program models, Blockaid's chain support and onchain monitoring capabilities are evolving with it. Here is what this release delivers:

  • Program Interface Visibility — Blockaid now surfaces Program Interface data directly for any onboarded Solana asset. Security and operations teams get clear visibility into what a monitored program is doing, all within the platform, without needing to cross-reference external explorers.

  • Instruction-Level Monitoring — Teams can now set precise monitors that trigger when a specific Solana instruction executes on a target account, with filtering on parameters like authorityType and amount and by caller address. This means catching the activity that matters, such as authority changes, abnormal mints, and privileged operations, without generating noise around everything else.

  • Solana Formula Metrics — Formula Monitors now support two Solana-native metric types, “Read Data Account” for tracking account state and “Instruction Metric” for aggregating instruction activity over time. Together, these shift monitoring from reacting to single events to detecting patterns, giving teams early warning on mint and burn volume spikes, fee anomalies, and token configuration drift before they become incidents.

Looking ahead: Continuously scaling onchain security for Solana

As Solana grows in popularity, so does the volume and sophistication of threats targeting its ecosystem. Its program architecture and token standards introduce attack surfaces that require detection logic built specifically for how Solana's SVM works. This release is one step in ensuring the platforms building on and integrating with Solana have the coverage they need to stay ahead.

For platforms whose products interact with Solana, the security infrastructure underneath needs to keep pace. Blockaid evolves alongside the chain, integrating Solana-native detection capabilities so teams can prevent incidents and protect users from loss of funds in real time.
