Base Connects to Solana With Chainlink-Secured Cross-Chain Bridge

The live, open-source connector uses a dual verification model with Coinbase-run validators to lay groundwork for Base’s multi-chain expansion.

Overview

  • The bridge is live on mainnet, enabling direct transfers of SOL and other SPL tokens into Base applications and allowing Base assets to move to Solana.
  • Security relies on Chainlink’s CCIP plus Coinbase-operated validators, which independently verify cross-chain messages before finalization.
  • Early rollouts include Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Flaunch, and Relay, giving users immediate routes for trading and new liquidity pairs.
  • The implementation is fully open-source on GitHub, letting developers add native Solana support inside Base without wrappers or multi-step flows.
  • Base frames Solana as the first link in a wider interoperability plan, with observers tracking liquidity shifts and hybrid dApp development across the two ecosystems.
