Base–Solana bridge goes live: How it reshapes a $9.15B on-chain economy
The post Base–Solana bridge goes live: How it reshapes a $9.15B on-chain economy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase’s Layer‑2 network, Base, has officially integrated with the Solana ecosystem, enabling seamless transfers of SOL and other Solana assets across chains. This connection is powered by the new Base–Solana bridge, which utilizes Chainlink’s CCIP and runs on Coinbase’s infrastructure. With this upgrade, Base shifts from being just an Ethereum-focused L2 to a major liquidity hub. This allows users and developers to move assets and build across both Base and Solana [SOL] with far less friction. Base – Solana bridge Remarking on the same, the Coinbase-launched network wrote on a blog post, “To build a global economy, we need to make it interoperable and connected; and being a bridge, not an island, has been a core value of Base since day one.” The new bridge prioritizes security and reliability by using a multi‑layered verification model. In this model, Coinbase and Chainlink CCIP node operators act as independent validators. Each validator verifies all messages before finalizing any token transfer between Base and Solana. Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, also commented on the development, stating: “By leveraging Chainlink CCIP as the cross-chain infrastructure securing the Base-Solana Bridge, Base enables developers to build the most secure cross-chain applications and move the industry toward a reliable interoperability standard.” This robust defense mechanism is crucial given the high value of cross-chain assets. What has already been done? Several prominent decentralized applications (dApps), including Zora, AerodromeFi, Virtuals, Flaunch, and RelayProtocol, have already started rolling out the new functionality, making it immediately available to users. Through this integration, Base now supports native trading and utility for a wide range of Solana assets, including SOL and memecoins such as CHILLHOUSE and TRENCHER. This advancement unifies liquidity across both ecosystems, enabling builders to support Solana tokens directly. At the same time, it gives communities access to liquidity…
