Base vs Solana Just Escalated — Bridge Live, Token Rumors, L3 Migration

A Chainlink CCIP bridge between Solana and Base is now live — and that one line quietly rewires how assets, NFTs, and users can move between a major non-EVM chain and Coinbase’s Layer 2. If you build, trade, or run infra on Base, this isn’t just “another bridge announcement” — it’s a new liquidity corridor with very real security, UX, and routing tradeoffs.

In this episode of BASE Weekly, we break down four stories you actually need to make decisions on:

1️⃣ The new Solana ↔ Base bridge using Chainlink CCIP and what to test first.

2️⃣ Base openly exploring a native token and the public spat with Solana leadership.

3️⃣ Horizen relaunching as a privacy-focused Layer-3 on Base with ZEN migrated to ERC-20.
