The Base network has introduced a new bridge that links its ecosystem with Solana, creating a direct route for users and developers to move assets between the two chains. The launch marks an important step for Base as it aims to build an interconnected onchain economy.
The bridge went live on mainnet this week and now supports early integrations in several popular applications. Besides improving liquidity, the move strengthens Base’s goal to create a network where assets and activity move freely without technical barriers.
Bridge Goes Live With Chainlink Support
According to the blog post, the bridge relies on Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol and independent verification from Coinbase. Both systems validate every message to ensure secure transfers.
Developers can now support Solana assets inside Base applications while maintaining direct settlement. Moreover, users can move tokens such as SOL, CHILLHOUSE, and TRENCHER into Base and use them in apps like Zora, Virtuals, Aerodrome, Flaunch, and Relay.
The team released open-source documentation to encourage builders to integrate the bridge. Consequently, projects on Base can enable native support for Solana’s SPL tokens without creating workarounds. Anyone can also export Base assets to Solana, allowing liquidity to circulate more efficiently across both ecosystems.
Expanded Opportunities for Developers and Users
Base has stated its long-term vision to serve as a hub for a global digital economy. The team wants activity across chains to feel unified and accessible. The new bridge represents a major step toward that goal. Additionally, the rollout broadens opportunities for traders who want direct access to both networks without depending on centralized routes.
Solana Holds Key Resistance as Traders Watch $170
Solana’s market performance shows mixed movement during the launch window. SOL traded at $137.77 as of press time after a weekly decline of 3.03%. Significantly, the asset remains close to a multi-month resistance zone that traders continue to watch closely.
Market analyst 0xBossman noted Solana’s pressure against the $144–$146 zone. The structure shows steady higher lows and tightening consolidation. Hence, traders expect a strong reaction once the level breaks.
A decisive move above $146 could open a path toward $170. Support sits at $138 and $132 if momentum cools. However, current structure favors further upside as interest around cross-chain activity builds.
