Coinbase Launches Direct SOL Transfers to Base L2
- Coinbase launches Base-Solana bridge for SOL transfer on December 4, 2025.
- Supports direct mainnet connection between Solana and Base applications.
- Enhances cross-chain liquidity and asset availability.
Coinbase launched a Base-Solana bridge on December 4, 2025, allowing direct SOL transfers between Base’s Ethereum L2 and Solana using Chainlink’s security protocol.
This integration reflects Coinbase’s push for seamless cross-chain interoperability, enhancing on-chain liquidity and potentially boosting Solana’s market presence in decentralized finance.
Coinbase has unveiled a Base-Solana bridge enabling direct mainnet SOL transfers, enhancing interoperability using Chainlink’s CCIP, effective December 4, 2025.
This innovative bridge allows seamless SOL deposits into Base apps, bolstering trading and liquidity options across platforms without changing wallets.
Base-Solana Bridge Launch on December 4
Coinbase introduced a new Base-Solana bridge to enable direct mainnet SOL transfers. This unprecedented infrastructure allows users to move assets seamlessly between Solana and Base, supported by Chainlink’s CCIP protocol.
Coinbase’s collaboration with Chainlink Labs and Solana developers forms the basis of this initiative; facilitating direct integration with numerous Base applications and eliminating the need for multiple wallet interactions. This bridge improves cross-chain liquidity for Solana and Base ecosystems. Users now have simplified access to trade Solana-native tokens directly on Coinbase’s platforms, broadening asset availability.
Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, “Coinbase aims to be the ‘everything exchange’ for onchain assets, and through this integration, we are making millions of assets on Base and Solana now available in the main Coinbase app.”
Improved Liquidity Across Ecosystems
The bridge immediately improves cross-chain liquidity for Solana and Base ecosystems. Users now have simplified access to trade Solana-native tokens directly on Coinbase’s platforms, broadening asset availability.
Financially, this can potentially increase SOL and SPL token utility, and potentially raise total value locked (TVL) on both Solana and Base, targeting Coinbase’s vision of inclusive asset trading.
First Non-EVM-EVM Bridge via Chainlink
While Coinbase has previously pursued multi-chain expansions, this marks the first significant EVM-non-EVM bridging using CCIP, drawing parallels with past blockchain endeavors to enhance liquidity.
Experts anticipate the bridge could lead to adoption of new standards in cross-chain interoperability. Security provided by Chainlink’s CCIP is pivotal for building market confidence in such initiatives.
Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer, Chainlink Labs, “By leveraging Chainlink CCIP as the cross-chain infrastructure securing the bridge, Base enables developers to build secure cross-chain applications and move the industry toward a reliable interoperability standard adopted by major financial institutions.”
