Mantle Adopts Chainlink CCIP to Strengthen Blockchain Interoperability

Highlights:

• Mantle Network has adopted Chainlink CCIP to boost dApp development and enhance interoperability.  
• 21X has partnered with Chainlink to bring tokenized assets closer to EU-regulated blockchain-based trading systems.  
• LINK has hit its ATH price of this year after a whale purchase of $6.6M and surging interest from recent partnerships.

Mantle Network, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution, has integrated Chainlink’s Cross Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). This is part of its move to enhance cross-chain operations. The integration will provide a secure and efficient infrastructure for developers to build decentralized applications on many blockchains.

Mantle can enable easy data and value exchanges across blockchains with the integration. Interoperability is essential for improving the reach of dApps and enhancing user access to liquidity. According to Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, this step will advance the blockchain industry significantly.  

Key Features of Chainlink CCIP Integration

Chainlink CCIP enhances Mantle with several features. Decentralized Oracle networks provide its security, securing billions in smart contract transactions.  

Programmable token transfers are supported by the protocol, meaning multiple messages can contain multiple instructions at a given time. Moreover, it streamlines the more complex cross-chain work. In addition, it supports secure token pool contracts that guarantee secure token transfers among chains.  

CCIP introduces arbitrary messaging which allows developers to encode and send custom data across blockchains. Additionally, it provides a secure token pool contract through which the token can be transferred across chains in a reliable way.  

The protocol is designed for future expansion. It supports continuous updates such as integrating new blockchains and integrating advanced functionalities. That means Mantle is flexible to future cross-chain requirements.  

Expanding Multi-Chain Ecosystem

The move puts Mantle in line with the growing ecosystem of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Other projects such as Ethereum’s Layer 2 blockchain, Mode, have adopted CCIP to enhance their cross-chain abilities. Chainlink has developed a strong ecosystem and is widely known in the blockchain industry. In addition, its tools facilitate the formation of a unified liquidity network across different blockchains.

Meanwhile, LINK has surged 48.52% in the past year. In addition, The coin is currently trading at $23.60 and is up 9.65% in the past 24 hours. Its trading volume has surged by 55.22% in the past one day to $6.97B. 

LINK reached its year-long ATH today and was trading at $26.44. The surge is driven partly by a whale who accumulated $6.6 million worth of the tokens. The surge has also been enabled by recent partnerships.

21X Partners with Chainlink to Advance Tokenized Assets in the EU

Chainlink has partnered with 21X to improve its tokenized asset platform. The partnership aims to enhance cross-chain interoperability and data reliability.  

Under EU regulations, 21X plans to launch a blockchain-based exchange for tokenized securities. It will offer trading, settlement, and registry services for tokenized stocks, bonds, and funds. The integration of CCIP will play a key role in this initiative. 

We're excited to announce Europe’s first tokenized securities trading & settlement system—21X (@tradeon21x)—is adopting the #Chainlink standard.

21X will provide secure, real-time access to tokenized assets on various blockchains using Chainlink’s CCIP. CEO of 21X, Max Heinzle, explained that CCIP improves their infrastructure for trading and settlement. BaFin, Germany’s financial regulator, will supervise the operation of the platform.
