The Base-Solana Bridge is Now Live

Base, Coinbase’s L2 network, announced on Thursday that the Base-Solana Bridge is now live on mainnet. Secured by Chainlink CCIP alongside Coinbase, the bridge lets builders on Base support Solana assets in their apps, users trade Solana assets on Base, and communities tap into liquidity across Base and Solana. 

In its blog post, Base added that the bridge is now live on mainnet for builders to integrate, and rolling out for anyone to use in apps like Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Flaunch, and Relay.

The bridge is secured by Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) alongside Coinbase. Coinbase and Chainlink CCIP node operators each independently verify all messages, ensuring token transfers between Base and Solana are safe and reliable.

According to Base, the new bridge enables movement of assets across Base and Solana, allowing anyone to deposit and use SOL in Base apps, import any Solana asset into Base, and export any Base asset into Solana.

Thanks to this bridge, Base builders can integrate the bridge to support Solana assets (SOL and SPL tokens) natively in their apps. Users can also trade and use assets across chains in apps that integrate the bridge, regardless of whether they're on Base or Solana.

Finally, users can bridge assets between Base and Solana to make them tradable and usable on both chains.
