Chainlink's New 'Transporter' Bridge
Coinbase Lists PEPE Futures, Ethereum's Pectra Hard Fork Could Bring Social Recovery
Welcome to Coinfeeds Daily Digest!
Chainlink has just launched a new blockchain bridge tool called 'Transporter,' using its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to facilitate secure and efficient transfers of crypto assets across multiple blockchains.
It supports networks Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, and WEMIX, enhancing interoperability and security between them.
This is important because: The introduction of Transporter addresses the critical need for safe and seamless asset transfers between different blockchain networks, a growing demand in the crypto space. Bridges, which have been vulnerable to security breaches, are essential for ensuring transfer safety.
Why even use Chainlink? Well, Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that provides external data to smart contracts on the blockchain. Businesses and devs onboard because it offers reliable and tamper-proof data sources, making it an essential tool for executing smart contracts based on real-world I/O. CCIP is particularly noteworthy for enabling secure, cross-chain messaging and token transfers (needed for SWIFT…).
Transporter & cost efficiency: Chainlink's Transporter not only enhances security but also offers cost efficiency by not imposing extra fees beyond standard transaction costs and CCIP service charges. It also introduces a unique mechanism for ETH transfers across chains using WETH token pools, increasing flexibility and efficiency for users managing assets across diverse blockchain environments.
