Coinbase-backed Base has reignited tensions with the Solana Foundation following its decision to reverse plans for a native token launch. The announcement of Base's bridge to Solana on December 4, 2025, which facilitates asset transfers between the two ecosystems, has been met with criticism from Solana loyalists. They accuse Base of predatory practices, despite Base's total value locked (TVL) surging 20% to $10 billion in November, compared to Solana's $5.2 billion. Jesse Pollak, the creator of Base, defended the bridge, emphasizing its role in allowing Solana assets to access the Base economy. The bridge supports SOL, CHILLHOUSE, and SPL tokens, potentially enabling $450 million in weekly cross-chain flows. However, critics like Vibhu (@vibhu) argue that Base lacks collaboration with Solana partners. The controversy traces back to a September 2025 incident where Alexander Cutler suggested Base could surpass Solana, further fueling the ongoing feud. Despite the backlash, Base continues to expand its reach, processing 1.5 billion transactions in November, with a significant portion from SOL trades.
