The cross-chain channel between Base and Solana has finally been established. The technology behind this bridge is quite robust—message verification uses a dual-insurance mechanism: both a custom oracle from Chainlink CCIP and Coinbase’s own nodes process the transactions to ensure asset transfer security.

Practical use cases are already rolling out: users can now move SOL and other SPL tokens directly to Base and back, with the reverse operation also supported. It’s more convenient for developers too, as they can natively support Solana ecosystem assets within Base applications. Platforms like Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Flaunch, and Relay can all be used.

This kind of infrastructure-level interoperability means that the liquidity and user bases of both chains can leverage each other. Previously, cross-chain operations required several complicated steps—now, it’s a one-step process.
