Chainlink CCIP
1 storyChainlink CCIP is a Chainlink cross-chain protocol used for programmable token transfers. Chainlink CCIP checks source-chain activity through decentralized oracle network security and cross-chain message delivery before destination delivery. Users and integrators encounter source and destination routers, Risk Management Network, and CCIP token pools when using Chainlink CCIP. Contract upgrades and new routes belong under Chainlink CCIP; outages, exploits or recovery work at Chainlink CCIP stay here when decentralized oracle network security changes. For Chainlink CCIP, direct activity on a connected chain belongs under that network unless cross-chain verification or delivery is central.
