Chainlink Welcomes Tempo and Codatta to CCIP

Chainlink has added Tempo and Codatta to its Cross Chain Interoperability Protocol. This means both projects now use Chainlink CCIP for secure cross chain messaging and asset transfers. Tempo uses CCIP ahead of its mainnet launch. Codatta uses CCIP to move its XNY asset across Base and BNB Chain. This development shows how CCIP is becoming a key layer for cross chain products.

What Is Tempo and Why Is It Using Chainlink CCIP?

Tempo is a payments focused layer 1 blockchain incubated by Stripe and Paradigm. It is built for stablecoins and aims to support institutions that want predictable settlement.

Chainlink stated that Tempo has already partnered with Visa, Deutsche Bank, Nubank, and other major financial institutions. These firms often need secure settlement rails between chains. CCIP provides a standard way to route value and data.

Tempo adopts CCIP before its mainnet goes live. That gives it a tested security framework instead of building its own custom bridge. For stablecoin issuers or payment firms, reducing attack risk matters more than adding new features.

Codatta and Chainlink CCIP

Codatta is an AI layer that turns human knowledge into high quality onchain data. Chainlink said Codatta now uses CCIP to move XNY across Base and BNB Chain. XNY is Codatta’s native token used inside its system.

AI systems that rely on verified data need secure transfers. Any wrong message could corrupt the dataset. CCIP allows Codatta to reduce the chance of bad data entering the network.

How Does This Fit Into Chainlink’s Growing Cross Chain Network?

Tempo and Codatta join at a time when cross chain activity is increasing. Solana and Coinbase’s Base network became connected through a new bridge that uses Chainlink CCIP. The Base team confirmed that the bridge is live on mainnet.

This is the first time Base has integrated a non EVM chain through its own bridge.

The Solana Base bridge supports:

• SOL and SPL tokens
• Base assets that can move to Solana
• Early integrations such as Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Flaunch, and Relay

Solana uses a Proof of History design. Base follows the EVM model. Moving assets between them requires a translation layer. CCIP and a custom cross chain oracle handle this work.

Users can trade Solana assets inside Base apps. Developers can add SPL support inside Base apps. Base users can send assets to Solana for trading or onchain activity. The goal is simple and secure asset movement without switching wallets or interfaces.

Why Is Chainlink CCIP Used for These Bridges?

CCIP manages message verification, routing, rate limits, and security controls. The Base Solana bridge uses two independent validation paths. Coinbase verifies messages on one path. Chainlink node operators verify the same messages on another. Both must confirm before the transfer is executed.

Many bridge exploits in the past came from weak validation systems. The dual validation system reduces risks like faulty relays or single point confirmation failures.

Chainlink Live on Monad Mainnet

Chainlink also went live on Monad with CCIP, Data Streams, and Price Feeds. Monad is a performance focused layer 1 that targets high throughput and low confirmation times.

This rollout gives Monad developers a complete data and messaging layer on day one. More than 15 DeFi protocols in the Monad ecosystem are already integrating these tools.

Chainlink services now available on Monad include:

• CCIP for cross chain messaging
• Data Streams for low latency updates
• Price Feeds for verified market rates

Monad’s MON token now has an official MON USD price feed and real time data stream. This supports lending markets, futures platforms, collateral engines, and settlement systems.

Developers no longer need to maintain their own off chain infrastructure. Projects across the ecosystem can use the same data standard, which reduces inconsistency.

Conclusion

Chainlink’s addition of Tempo and Codatta to CCIP strengthens its role as a core layer for cross chain systems. CCIP now supports payment networks, AI data platforms, layer 1 blockchains, and multi chain apps. With secure validation, verified data, and a growing set of integrations, CCIP provides the technical foundation needed across Solana, Base, Monad, BNB Chain, and other networks.
