The tool is built on the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) from Chainlink.
“If we truly want to bring the world on-chain, we need to simplify asset movement to the speed of the internet,” notes the Base blog.
The bridge will enable developers to integrate SPL assets into their applications, allow users to trade them on Base, and let communities leverage liquidity from both ecosystems.
CCIP is one of the most popular interoperability tools, facilitating the transfer of tokens and arbitrary data between different blockchains.
Developers emphasized that the bridge uses a “specialized cross-chain oracle.” Node operators from Coinbase and Chainlink independently verify all data, “ensuring the security and reliability of token transfers between Base and Solana.”
Base’s Achievements
Launched in August 2023, the platform is based on the technology stack from Optimism. Base quickly became one of the most active L2 ecosystems, as evidenced by various metrics, including TVL, network revenues, and the number of BLOB objects.
The largest application in the Base ecosystem is the lending service Morpho. Its TVL exceeds $2 billion.
The Coinbase-backed solution significantly outperforms competitors like Arbitrum and Optimism in transactional activity:
On the other hand, the number of active addresses has been declining in recent months:
In October, developer Jesse Pollak announced a call for proposals on the design of a future native asset for the L2 network.
Earlier, JPMorgan forecasted the Base token’s market capitalization at $34 billion.
