♨️ Doppler token creation platform powering most Base launches expands to Solana

Doppler, the token launch platform that powers the majority of new token launches on Base, is expanding to Solana, marking the latest EVM project to begin exploring the SVM.

According to an announcement shared exclusively with The Block, the relaunch is “not a port” and “not a fork,” but a native implementation designed to handle Solana's unique architecture, constraints, programming model, and economics.

“The SVM has fundamentally different constraints - different architectural assumptions, programming and accounting models, and economic challenges,” Doppler said. “That's what makes it interesting. We've redesigned Doppler from first principles for the SVM.”

To some extent, there is a growing cross-pollination between Base and Solana, as projects begin to leverage both platforms’ scalable architectures. Base recently rolled out a bridge to Solana, while Zora, a web3 project closely associated with Base, tapped Solana for its new “attention market” product.

Solana leads new token activity per chain by a fairly wide margin, with Base coming in a distant second, according to The Block’s data. This is likely driven by the dominance of memecoin generator Pump.fun, which, in many ways, reinvented, simplified and reduced the costs of the token launch process.

“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,” Doppler said.

Doppler notes that it is live on several EVM chains and remains “excited about our future EVM plans.”

While the token launch process is permissionless on Doppler, the platform, which launched early last year, positions itself as a more professional product geared toward sustainable token launches. It offers an “off-the-shelf, audited solution” that is integrated into apps like Zora and Bankr.
