DFX Finance has announced that it has integrated Chainlink CCIP across the Polygon and Arbitrum mainnets. The idea is to leverage the cross-chain interoperability of Chainlink CCIP via Simplified Token Transfer and facilitate cross-chain interoperability. The objective is to have seamless movement between L2s for safe and efficient transfers.
DFX Finance selected Chainlink CCIP because of its proven track record. Furthermore, it is backed by a robust Risk Management Network. The security layer has ensured that millions of user funds are safe on the network. It has done so by preventing a large number of exploits in the past.
The entire proven record of reliability and security pertains to the Web3 industry. DFX Finance will now work to bring down liquidity fragmentation across several chains while enabling users to experience seamless movement.
More features that DFX Finance took into consideration before pinning an ideal candidate were:
- Security and reliability
- Simplified Token Transfer
- Flexible and programmable
- Future-proof
Interestingly, this is not the first time that Chainlink and DFX Finance have joined hands. The latter has previously joined hands with Chainlink to utilize the capabilities of Price Feeds. That was to avail of the real-time forex pricing within the bonding curve of the protocol. DFX Finance has called the recent partnership a natural evolution.
Having said that, the native token of Chainlink (LINK) is holding a somewhat steady position on the trading board. LINK is currently exchanging hands at $14.22, a slip of 0.65% in the last 24 hours.
Simplified Token Transfer by Chainlink CCIP is a plug-and-play offering comprising audited token pool contracts. STT handles the complexities of burning and minting tokens across the chains. It also handles minting and locking tokens on the supported chains. Additional security features include Rate Limits and the easy construction of new capabilities.
Time-tested security and reliability are related to securing billions of dollars for major industries like gaming and insurance, among others. The Smart Execution and Risk Management Network backs it. The decentralized Oracle networks of Chainlink power Chainlink CCIP.
CCIP is future-proof. Meaning, it is capable of handling current developments and will be able to support projects that scale to greater heights in the future. Developments refer to the introduction of advanced functionalities, the integration of new blockchains, and the implementation of tighter security measures. This helps developers mitigate the cost of shifting to another ecosystem.
Finally, CCIP supports flexibility and programmability. As a result, token transfers and arbitrary data transfers can be consolidated into a single atomic transaction, facilitating the transmission of data payload instructions.
Chainlink is now tasked with pulling its market cap and 24-hour volume, both of which are down by 0.13% and 3.16%, respectively. LINK has risen by 23.69% in the last month amid bearish sentiments and a recovery from the crypto winter. More improvements could be on the way in the future.
