CCIP allows for the transfer of tokens like ETH and USDC, and the sending of messages to smart contracts across supported blockchains including Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Ethereum.
Chainlink has officially announced the general availability of its Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), according to a press release shared with BSCN. This launch allows developers to use CCIP to transfer tokens, send messages, and combine data and value transfers across different blockchains without needing permissions.
Now, developers can transfer ETH, USDC, and LINK tokens across supported networks, including Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Ethereum. The protocol supports programmable token transfers, a distinctive feature that adds flexibility to how transfers occur.
CCIP facilitates tokenized asset transfers across public and private blockchains and connects different blockchain ecosystems, enhancing liquidity and market connectivity.
According to Chainlink, what makes CCIP different is that it integrates with Chainlink's decentralized oracle network, ensuring data accuracy and security.
Platforms like Aave, Metis, and WEMADE have already integrated CCIP. Aave, a leading player in the DeFi lending market, has utilized CCIP for cross-chain transfers of its GHO stablecoin. Metis has adopted CCIP as its standard token bridge, while WEMADE has implemented it as the exclusive cross-chain infrastructure on its WEMIX3.0 mainnet.
It is a critical component of the broader Chainlink platform, which provides essential data and computation resources for secure and efficient markets. As per the team, the Chainlink platform provides additional data and computation resources required to create a liquid and secure market for tokenized real-world assets.
The transition to general availability comes after enhancements to CCIP. These include the introduction of Transporter—a highly secure bridging application—and expanded token transfer capabilities for USDC and native ETH.
During its early access phase in the first quarter of 2024, CCIP saw a dramatic increase in usage, with a 900% rise in cross-chain transactions and a 4,000% increase in transfer volume, according to reports.
