Coinbase and Chainlink Launch Base–Solana Bridge to Boost Cross‑Chain Liquidity
The bridge connects Coinbase’s Layer‑2 network Base with Solana and uses Chainlink’s Cross‑Chain Interoperability Protocol for message authentication and security [2].
Coinbase’s Layer‑2 network Base has launched its first official bridge to Solana, enabling users to transfer crypto assets between the two networks without requiring complex procedures or third‑party applications [1].
The connection is secured by Chainlink’s Cross‑Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), which authenticates and secures messages transferred between chains to protect cross‑chain activity [1][2].
With the bridge live, users can trade and interact with Solana‑based tokens on Base‑based decentralized apps, a move described by developers as improving cross‑chain liquidity and linking the Solana and Base ecosystems [2][3].
The Base–Solana bridge formally links the two ecosystems and aims to simplify asset movement while expanding liquidity across both networks, using Chainlink’s CCIP for security [1][2][3].
