Overview
- Users can now move SOL and other SPL tokens directly into Base applications, with early integrations live in Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Flaunch, and Relay.
- The bridge enables native use of Solana assets inside Base dapps, letting developers support SOL and SPL tokens without wrappers or third‑party tools.
- Security relies on independently verified cross‑chain messages, with Chainlink’s CCIP oracle network and Coinbase‑operated infrastructure each validating transfers.
- The implementation is open‑source on GitHub, supporting two‑way movement between Base and Solana and allowing any team to add cross‑chain functionality.
- Base describes Solana as the first external connection in a broader multichain strategy, while some Solana community figures criticized the rollout as extraction‑focused and Base maintained it is bidirectional.
