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](https://blog.base.org/base-solana-bridge) 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.
