A major L2 player just dropped a bridge connecting to Solana, powered by Chainlink's CCIP security layer. Context matters here: that L2 handled 14.1% of all on-chain activity last month, while Solana's been vacuum-cleaning $460 million from competing chains. Now the entity behind both the exchange and that L2 controls the gateway linking these speed-focused ecosystems—positioning itself to rake fees from a 100-million-user flow. Strategic infrastructure play or rent-seeking bottleneck? The data tells one story, the positioning screams another.

Another centralized fee extractor, glorified as "strategic infrastructure." What a joke.

Yet another centralized bottleneck trick; the fee model is obvious at a glance.

Same old trick. Controlling the bridge interface means controlling the discourse; they can charge whatever fees they want.
