Blockchain oracle community Chainlink has tapped into Ethereum (ETH) layer 2 scaling protocol Arbitrum to drive cross-chain decentralized software development.
The two protocols introduced the mainnet launch of the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) on Arbitrum One on Sept .21, giving builders entry to Chainlink’s answer that faucets into Arbitrum’s high-throughput, low value scaling.
The mixture of CCIP and Arbitrum One’s ecosystem goals to unlock a myriad of use circumstances, together with cross-chain tokenization and collateralization, blockchain gaming, information storage and computation.
Chainlink Labs chief enterprise officer Johann Eid commented on the partnership, highlighting Arbitrum’s position in offloading transaction congestion from Ethereum’s base layer and offering a base to construct DApps.
“CCIP now gives these users access to a highly secure and easy-to-use interoperability protocol built on Chainlink’s time-tested infrastructure, powering cross-chain smart contracts in a way that will open up new avenues of growth, accessibility, and innovation.”
The integration will marry Arbitrum’s optimistic rollup know-how that at present instructions round 60% of whole worth locked within the wider Ethereum layer two ecosystem. Arbitrum facilitates quick and low payment transactions which might be batched off-chain after which submitted to Ethereum’s base layer.
The optimistic rollup is assumed to be legitimate till confirmed in any other case by validators of the community.
Meanwhile CCIP permits builders to construct cross-chain DApps that use arbitrary messaging and simplified token transfers. This faucets into Chainlink’s decentralized oracle community that allows good contracts to securely entry off-chain information sources, APIs, and cost programs.

The protocol permits good contracts to work together with real-world information and occasions, making it doable for them to be triggered by information from exterior sources.
Another outstanding Ethereum scaling know-how agency in StarkWare beforehand tapped into Chainlink’s oracle providers. As Cointelegraph beforehand reported, StarkWare’s zero-knowledge proof rollup protocol StarkNet built-in Chainlink’s information and worth feeds for its ecosystem in February 2023.
