Doppler, the token creation platform that powers the majority of new token launches on Coinbase's Base blockchain, is expanding its services to the Solana network. The company announced the move exclusively to The Block, marking a significant cross-chain expansion for a major EVM-based infrastructure provider.
The expansion is described as a "native implementation" built from first principles for Solana's Sealevel Virtual Machine (SVM) architecture, rather than a simple port or fork of its existing EVM product. "The SVM has fundamentally different constraints - different architectural assumptions, programming and accounting models, and economic challenges," Doppler stated. "That's what makes it interesting. We've redesigned Doppler from first principles for the SVM."
This move reflects a growing trend of cross-pollination between the Base and Solana ecosystems. Base recently rolled out a bridge to Solana, and Zora, a web3 project closely associated with Base, tapped Solana for a new product. Solana currently leads new token activity per chain by a wide margin, with Base a distant second, a dynamic largely driven by the dominance of memecoin generator Pump.fun on Solana.
Doppler cited the consistent attraction of serious builders to Solana as a key reason for the expansion. "Cycle after cycle, builders we respect - teams with real products, real users, real novel ideas - keep showing up on Solana. The pattern is hard to ignore," the company said.
While permissionless, Doppler positions itself as a more professional, sustainable token launch solution compared to meme-centric platforms, offering an audited, off-the-shelf product integrated with apps like Zora and Bankr. The platform, which launched early last year, disclosed a $9 million seed round in Q2 2025 led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Variant, Figment Capital, and Coinbase Ventures. Founder Austin Adams noted that over 40,000 assets are created daily using Doppler, with the protocol earning trading fees on these tokens.
