A Solana Storage Network Just Put Down Roots on Bitcoin

Xandeum, the decentralized storage network built on Solana, today began anchoring its state to Bitcoin.

At every checkpoint of its consensus, Xandeum writes a cryptographic fingerprint of its storage state into the Bitcoin blockchain, where it cannot be altered or erased. Anyone, anywhere, at any point in the future can use that fingerprint to prove what data Xandeum was holding at a given moment in time — without trusting Xandeum, its team, or any third party.

It is the first time a Solana-native infrastructure project has tied its trust model to Bitcoin.

“Solana gives us the speed and programmability to scale storage to exabytes,” said Bernie Blume, Founder and CEO of Xandeum. “Bitcoin gives us something Solana wasn’t built for: the most battle-tested permanence record in computing history. Our customers shouldn’t have to choose. Now they don’t.”

Xandeum currently runs more than 300 pNodes — independently operated storage nodes — across the network, with capacity growing weekly. The upcoming South Era pNode Sale in June will be the final opportunity to acquire nodes under the network’s early-era terms.

Xandeum is presenting at Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas, April 27–29. Bernie Blume and members of the team are available for briefings and live demonstrations of the Bitcoin anchoring system at the event.

About Xandeum 

Xandeum is a decentralized storage layer for Solana, purpose-built for large-scale, random-access data. The network is operated by hundreds of independent pNode operators worldwide.
