Chainlink CCIP Goes Live on ZKsync Era Mainnet for Cross-Chain Interoperability in Ethereum's Layer-2 Ecosystem

Sep 16, 2024, 05:28 PM

Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) is now live on the ZKsync Era Mainnet, marking a significant milestone in blockchain interoperability. This integration empowers developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) with programmable token transfers and cross-chain smart contracts. The collaboration aims to enhance the layer-2 ecosystem on Ethereum by enabling secure cross-chain applications and increasing access to zero-knowledge technology. Additionally, the integration supports advanced decentralized app development, including token transfers, swaps, staking, and deposits. This move is part of Chainlink's broader efforts to support the launch of various projects on ZKsync, including Aave and the tokenization of a Fidelity International fund. The integration also aligns with the Chainlink Scale program and addresses growing institutional interest in tokenization. Furthermore, CCIP serves as the infrastructure behind cross-chain GHO, facilitating its expansion across the ZKsync ecosystem.
