Coinbase’s Base has launched a Solana Bridge using Chainlink CCIP, allowing asset transfers between the networks now that it is live on the mainnet.
The open source bridge, announced in a December 4 base blog postlets users move assets in both directions and trade tokens between Base and Solana, with integrations already live in Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Flaunch and Relay.
Powered by a custom cross-chain oracle, Coinbase and Chainlink CCIP (Cross-chain interoperability protocol) node operators independently verify messages for secure transfers between networks, Base said. This ensures that transfers between Solana and Base are ‘safe and reliable’.
“This is an important step toward our goal of Base serving as a hub for the economy of everything: any asset, over any network, at any time, and Solana is just the beginning,” the Base team said.

A “range of cross-chain experiences” unlocked
Base said in its blog post that the bridge “opens up a range of new cross-chain experiences.”
Base builders can now integrate with the bridge to support assets and tokens native to the Solana network within their apps.
Users will also be able to trade and interact with assets via the blockchains in apps connected to the bridge “regardless of whether they are on Base or Solana,” the team said.
Anyone will also be able to bridge assets between Solana and Base to make them tradable and usable on both networks.
Developers who want to integrate with the new cross-chain bridge can visit the project officer Github repository.
The bridge has been made open-source, meaning the code is publicly accessible and anyone can view, use, modify and distribute it. Teams often open their code to promote collaboration.
The decision to make the bridge open source aligns with the Base team’s goal to “build a global economy” that is “interoperable and connected.”
Base TVL’s fifth largest blockchain
Base was launched by Coinbase in 2023 and has seen exponential growth since then.
Data from DefiLlama shows that Base has become the fifth largest blockchain in the market in terms of total value locked (TVL).

With a decentralized finance (DeFi) TVL of over $4.57 billion, Base is just one position below Bitcoin, the oldest network in the Web3 space.
Ethereum is the market leader with its DeFi TVL of over $70 billion. In second place is Solana (SOL), which has more than $9 billion on its network.
Base’s top-5 position in TVL comes despite the network being one of the few blockchains in the space that does not have its own token. However, the team has fueled speculation that this could change after Coinbase director and Base head Jesse Pollak said earlier this year that a token would eventually be launched.
After the bridge announcement, Solana’s price plummeted by more than 5%. This coincided with a broader crypto market pullback over the past 24 hours, with the space’s total capitalization falling by more than 2%, data from CoinMarketCap shows.
SOL’s 5% correction, along with ADA’s decline of similar magnitude, was the biggest loss in 24 hours among the top ten largest cryptos by market cap.
