@jessepollak: Base-Solana bridge was publicly announced 5 months ago

just for everyone following along - there was some communication breakdown here that we are digging into and solving but it's not true that we didn't talk to Solana folks or work with Solana partners! we spent the last 9 months building this including publicly announcing it 5 months ago. at many points during that time we tried to get engagement from people across the Solana ecosystem but folks weren't really interested. but we did end up with a bunch of great memes like trencher and chillhouse collaborating with us on it! we built this as a two way bridge. the whole point is to unlock movement both ways because we are hearing from Solana teams they want access to Base and from Base teams they want access to Solana. we want to make that possible. I am digging in with Vibhu to understand where we missed on the Solana Foundation collaboration and am optimistic we can work better together to make this great. We win together.
