Base launched a Chainlink CCIP-powered bridge to Solana that enables native SPL token support inside Base apps and allows Base assets to move onto Solana.

What's the scoop?

  • Chainlink’s CCIP: One of the most popular solutions out there, Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol handles token transfers, with both Coinbase and Chainlink node operators verifying messages.
  • Multichain Vision: Base calls the move a step toward becoming a hub where every asset exists across every network, with Solana the first non-Ethereum chain connected.
  • Export Capability: Users and developers can now export Base-native assets to Solana and trade or use them in Solana apps that integrate the bridge.
  • Long Teased: Base creator Jesse Pollak first hinted at Solana support in August 2025 and doubled down in September.

Bankless Take:

This seems much more beneficial to Base than to Solana. For example, Base tokens now have the potential to develop liquidity on Solana. The same isn’t as attractive for Solana-based projects given the chain’s trading volumes and liquidity. Who I do see this launch being a big win for is “cross-chain” or “yield-hunting” DeFi agents like Giza who may expand to Solana now given this bridge, though they still likely have to develop systems for “navigating” the non-EVM Chain. Overall, this looks like a big win for Chainlink who continues weaving its CCIP into our cross-chain fabric.
