The Base\u2013Solana<\/a> bridge was launched with integrations limited exclusively to applications built on Base Zora, without any participation from native Solana projects. According to Vibhu Norby (DRiP), neither the Solana Foundation nor its teams were consulted, reinforcing the perception of a unilateral launch. This asymmetry raises questions despite the “bidirectional” vision championed by Jesse Pollak<\/strong>. According to which Base wants to access SOL and SPL tokens<\/a>, while Solana could benefit from Ethereum<\/a> liquidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The issue lies in the timing and methodology: launching a bridge without balanced partnerships with the target ecosystem<\/strong> looks more like a liquidity extraction strategy than genuine collaboration. Many view it as a vampire attack designed to drain SOL assets to Base while offering minimal access in return. The absence of reciprocal integrations fuels distrust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
