Recently saw a tweet saying that the traffic on the Base chain is basically all on Virtuals, which can be said to be relying on one project to compete with the entire @Solana Official 's traffic.
However, as Virtuals has begun to expand to Solana recently: it means that Solana has started to equip [Pump fun + AI Pump fun], and a world where only Base is hurt has already appeared.
We can observe the inflow and outflow of funds in Base later.
At least in the past week, the amount of funds from Base to Solana via deBridge has increased by more than 30% compared to before.
If this inflow remains at this level in the coming weeks, it can be judged that it is the amount brought in by Virtuals.
As the leading bridge protocol on Solana, deBridge primarily focuses on cross-chain transactions through intent and 0 asset locking, but other chains can also achieve cross-chain asset minting through deBridge's dePort feature.
(The method used is the mainstream cross-chain bridge's minting + locking method.)
For projects that want to expand their business from Base or other EVM chains to Solana like Virtuals, they can use dePort to realize cross-chain asset packaging, and then set liquidity on Meteora to trade on Solana.
By the way: deBridge has seen about 50,000 new users in the past month, especially during the 18th to 20th, which can be said to be a peak in new user growth in the past six months.
