- Chainlink and Arbitrum announce the launch of CCIP on Arbitrum One.
- This partnership is expected to trigger more decentralized applications (dApps) which would in the long run accelerate user adoption.
According to reports, the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) has finally been launched on the Arbitrum One. This has been confirmed by both Chainlink and Arbitrum. The use of Chainlink’s CCIP across various fields and its distinctive design and function has been reported on multiple occasions on CNF.
One notable mention is its provision of security to Web3 developers coupled with the easy-to-use interface that enables users to build secure and simple applications to transfer tokens, send messages, and initiate actions on the blockchain.
According to Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, Arbitrum One plays a huge role in offloading transaction congestion and could enable users to unlock a variety of benefits.
Layer 2s like Arbitrum play an important role in offloading transaction congestion and enabling developers to constructively build in the Ethereum ecosystem. 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.
It is important to note that CCIP is powered by the decentralized oracle networks of Chainlink. The protocol enables $8 trillion in on-chain transaction value while securing billions of dollars.
More on the CCIP and Arbitrum Collaboration
Arbitrum One, on the other hand, powers high-throughput and low-cost dApps. It makes it easier for developers to build their cross-chain DApps via Arbitrary Messaging. On top of that, it ensures that Simplified Token Transfers are provided to enable improved composability for Arbitrum network assets.
This implies that the collaboration could create an opportunity for developers to use CCIP to access several use cases including collateral, gaming, tokenized assets, computation, data storage, etc.
A.J. Warner, Chief Strategy Officer at Offchain Labs commented on this:
Builders and applications on Arbitrum now have access to the CCIP Network, providing a secure, reliable, and easy-to-use solution for developers. We are excited to see the benefits it brings to those already building, or seeking to build on Arbitrum One.
The Mainnet Early Access launch of CCIP was done in July. Renowned DeFi projects – Synthetix and Aave are reported to be early adopters. On top of that, projects including “BetSwirl, Galaxis, Stafi, Raft, Polychain Monsters” have made the early move to integrate the Chainlink CCIP on Arbitrum One.
According to the co-founder of Chainlink Sergey Nazarov, a high level of security is one of the reasons why most security-sensitive institutions in the world are choosing CCIP.

Impacts of This Development
With this level of benefits, it is just a matter of time for heavyweight institutions like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs to jump onto the Chainlink CCIP.
Analysts expect that this partnership will have a huge impact on the native tokens of both networks. Developers are always willing to move to a hub that makes their work easier. This means the partnership could trigger more decentralized applications (dApps) which would in the long term be a catalyst for user adoption.
As of press time, Chainlink (LINK) had a neutral market sentiment and was trading at $6.69. This asset has a 7.9 percent price surge in the last seven days. Arbitrum (ARB) was also trading at $1.34 after falling by 6.6 percent in the last seven days.
