Until now, moving AVAIL tokens between Avail Mainnet & Base required multiple steps: bridging first to Ethereum via the Native Bridge, then to Base via Wormhole, and vice versa. This process typically took a couple of hours to complete and incurred high gas costs.
With our latest upgrade to the Avail Native bridge, we’ve eliminated time-consuming delays and costly fees, letting anyone move assets between Avail and Base in minutes. Now it’s possible to jump straight into AVAIL’s Defi ecosystem. For example, Aerodrome’s liquidity pools on Base have 200% APR (at the time of writing this blog).
Avail’s Native Bridge upgrade slashes bridging time to minutes and reduces gas fees. Here’s how you can use it:
- Get AVAIL tokens on the Avail Mainnet: Use your AVAIL balance (if you have it already in Avail Mainnet), or you can withdraw from any of the exchanges supporting AVAIL.
- Bridge in minutes to Base with one click ( https://bridge.avail.so/)
- Provide liquidity into Aerodrome’s AVAIL/USDC pool to start earning rewards.
This streamlined process means you can act fast when opportunities arise. Whether you’re earning yield or trading, speed and affordability are now on your side.
The benefits go beyond convenience. By bridging AVAIL to Base in minutes, you gain a competitive edge:
- Maximize earnings: Aerodrome’s incentivized pools offer APR of more than 200%, but these rewards favor those who can move quickly.
- Cross Chain trading: Leverage the best from across multiple chains with seamless trade flows.
- Future-proof access: Start with Base today, and stay ready as we add faster bridging between Avail Network <> Ethereum and more chains soon.
Please note that this upgrade is still in beta, meaning there are lower limits on the number of tokens that can be bridged as of now, but it will be scaled soon to higher limits.

With Avail’s upgraded Native Bridge, you’re equipped to act instantly, spend less on fees, and earn more from opportunities like Aerodrome’s high-yield pools and more crosschain opportunities.
