Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard has achieved compatibility with Optimism’s SuperchainERC20, marking a milestone in blockchain interoperability. The integration was showcased through Astar Network’s ASTR token, the first to utilize both standards on the Layer-2 network Soneium. Chainlink’s CCIP protocol enables secure, fee-efficient cross-chain transfers without third-party bridges. Beyond this, Chainlink Labs has joined the Global Synchronizer Foundation to advance institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure. Recent collaborations with UBS, MAS, and Hong Kong’s CBDC pilot further highlight Chainlink’s role in bridging traditional and decentralized finance. The Solana CCIP launch and LINK’s price surge (+10% weekly) underscore growing adoption.

Chainlink has expanded its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to Solana, enabling secure data and token transfers between Solana and major blockchains like Ethereum, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain.
