A secure interoperability protocol for
Defense-in-depth security
Powered by Chainlink’s industry-standard oracle networks. Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) also features additional layers of protection via the Risk Management Network and transfer rate limits.
Simplified token transfers
Seamlessly scale your userbase and benefit from enhanced token composability by securely transferring tokens across chains in a fraction of the time it would take to build a custom solution.
Programmable token transfers
Send tokens and instructions for their use to a receiving smart contract on a different blockchain—specify to swap or stake assets once they arrive at the destination chain, for example.
Reliable transaction execution
A transaction price is quoted on the source chain via a gas-locked fee payment mechanism that confirms execution regardless of destination chain gas spikes and network congestion.
Seamless integration
A single, easy-to-integrate interface for a unified cross-chain developer experience. Simply integrate CCIP onchain and start building secure cross-chain applications.
Extendable and future-proof
CCIP will continue to be updated over time to support new blockchains, enhanced functionalities, and additional defense-in-depth approaches.
