Yakovenko Calls Out Base

[ed]

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko slammed Coinbase Base’s new bridge as “alignment bullshit.”
He argues cross-chain bridges aren’t neutral—they capture value and decide which ecosystem benefits, urging Base apps to migrate computation to Solana instead.

Toly’s point is simple: bridges aren’t infrastructure — they’re power centers. Whoever controls the bridge controls the flow of liquidity, users, and value.

Cross-chain isn’t neutral. It’s a battleground for attention and economics, and Base wants to keep both in-house.
