Cross-chain transfer service deBridge plans to issue a governance token, DBR, on the Solana blockchain in the coming month, the project’s head of marketing told CoinDesk in a release on Wednesday.
Allocations will depend on points earned by users in the past several months based on the fees paid to the protocol and funds moved through it since April.

DBR will allow holders to vote on future strategies and implementations of the deBridge protocol. The project has tentative plans to introduce staking features in the future.
Staking typically involves users locking up their tokens on a protocol or blockchain in exchange for a cut of fees. Cross-chain services allow users to transfer tokens between different blockchains, allowing for funds to be utilized on networks where they weren’t originally supported.
Data shows that deBridge is widely used to transfer funds between Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana and Base, among other blockchains. Since April, it has recorded over 2.3 million transactions and $2 billion in bridged volume, which generated 1.4 billion points for users.
Once released, DBR will join the rising cohort of bridge tokens that are cumulatively worth over $2.2 billion as of Wednesday.
