According to @jessepollak, Base and Solana are connected via a bridge, establishing interoperability between the ETH-based Base L2 and the SOL network. Source: @jessepollak on X, Dec 5, 2025. He adds that Base is built on Ethereum, anchoring the connection within the ETH ecosystem and its tooling. Source: @jessepollak on X, Dec 5, 2025. He states there will be many chains that both compete and collaborate, and that users and developers benefit when chains are connected with safe, secure, usable bridges.

For trading, this confirms a direct cross-chain route relevant to SOL and ETH ecosystem participants, with further chain connections indicated by the author’s readiness to connect more chains.

According to @jessepollak, Base spent the last 9 months building a two-way bridge with Solana and publicly announced the effort 5 months ago, source: @jessepollak on X, Dec 5, 2025. 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. He cited collaborations with memes like trencher and chillhouse and added he is working with Vibhu to address gaps in collaboration with the Solana Foundation, source: @jessepollak on X, Dec 5, 2025.
