Base has announced plans to launch a brand-new Solana Bridge. This bridge will make it easy for developers and users to move assets between Base and Solana. You can move tokens between Base and Solana with a few clicks.
Base is exploring a network token and a Solana bridge to drive decentralization and support its ecosystem.
Why the Solana Bridge Matters
Base unveiled its vision of becoming an onchain economy hub at BaseCamp 2025. The Solana Bridge is a massive move to that end. Base envisions a world where blockchains connect, making it easier for builders and users to grow together.

The bridge is open-source, already available on testnet, and will go live on mainnet in the next few weeks. It allows you to:
- Deposit and use SOL in any Base app.
- Deposit any Solana asset to Base apps.
- Send Tokens to Solana made by Export Base.
Builders also have access to more users and more liquidity. You can have more flexibility with their assets. Base plans to expand the bridge to support even more chains in the future.
Everyone bridges to solana.
Alright L2 nerds. If there is a 3 way bridge between base, solana and ethereum, where every state root has a full proof and all the remote chain txs ex-blobs are shared into its own local blobs, and has an exit escape hatch for censorship, which… https://t.co/I2nXjE7f4P

Exploring a Base Network Token
When Base launched, there were no plans for a native token. Their focus was on building a safe, inexpensive, and developer-friendly chain. The Team is now of the opinion that a network token can be critical in decentralizing the platform. As Base grows, it will also be able to provide more opportunities to creators and developers.
Base is beginning to explore a network token
We’re in the early phases of exploration, and don’t have any specifics to share around timing, design, or governance. We’re committed to bringing the community along with us, and building in the open. pic.twitter.com/KUKzrfjzXT

Base is still in the early stages of this exploration, with no details yet about timing, design, or governance. The Team is engaging with regulators, they are keeping to Ethereum, and they are including the community in all the processes. Here is what the CEO of Coinbase said about this:
We’re exploring a Base network token.
It could be a great tool for accelerating decentralization and expanding creator and developer growth in the ecosystem.
To be clear, there are no definitive plans. We’re just updating our philosophy. As of now, we’re exploring it. https://t.co/BK3asbMpar

The unveiling of the Solana Bridge and the prospect of having a native Base token is a new dawn in the network. By bridging ecosystems and empowering builders, Base is moving closer to its vision of an open, interoperable onchain economy.
