Base and Solana Connected via Chainlink and Coinbase Bridge for Cross-Chain Trading
Base and Solana are connected through a bridge secured by Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and Coinbase, enabling the seamless movement of assets across these networks.
The Base-Solana bridge is live on the Base mainnet and integrated into platforms like Zora and Aerodrome, allowing SOL tokens and other Solana assets to be migrated and traded on both Base and Solana blockchains.
This bridge is open-source, encouraging other applications to adopt it for cross-network trading to enhance interoperability.
Base, launched in 2023, emphasizes interoperability as central to its mission of becoming a hub for assets across different networks, with Solana as its first connected chain.
Currently, Base ranks as the fifth-largest blockchain by bridged Total Value Locked (TVL), with Base's TVL around $14.89 billion and Solana's approximately $29.4 billion. Base's TVL has seen a roughly 5% increase week-over-week.
In September 2025, Jesse Pollak, a Coinbase executive and head of Base, indicated that the development of a Base token is under exploration, although no definitive plans have been announced yet.
