He stated it is not true that they did not talk to Solana participants and that they engaged Solana partners throughout development, source: @jessepollak on X, Dec 5, 2025. He said the bridge is designed to unlock movement both ways because Solana teams want access to Base and Base teams want access to Solana, source: @jessepollak on X, Dec 5, 2025.
