One of the leading decentralized finance oracle platforms, Chainlink, has launched on Aptos mainnet. The protocol confirmed the partnership on Tuesday via a post on its official page on X. 

The statement established that the expansion to Aptos mainnet will help unlock DeFi liquidity and enhance institutional adoption within the layer 1 network’s ecosystem. Further, according to Chainlink, the initiative is the first integration of the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) on a Move-based blockchain. 

Also, the oracle platform stated that the synergy will enhance interoperability across more than 60 Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and non-Ethereum Virtual Machine blockchain networks. Chainlink further added that the collaboration will bring Aave’s GHO ($1.00) as a Cross-Chain Token (CCT) to the Aptos network. 

By that, the project established that asset issuers like Bedrock can leverage the integration to expand their solutions and CCIP-backed tokens into the Aptos ecosystem. Consequently, this move according to the firm will enable universal accessibility and attract more investors. 

Hence, assets like CCTs, uniBTC, and brBTC are now live on the Aptos blockchain, enabling holders to move assets freely through the CCIP-powered Interport app. Meanwhile, Chainlink discussed how the CCIP based on the infrastructure of the oracle platform supports projects to take up a cross-chain posture in a matter of minutes. 

In addition, the statement illustrated how the launching of Chainlink’s CCIP on Aptos opens fresh opportunities for users and developers alike by offering cross-chain infrastructure needed for institutional-grade solutions to scale. Chainlink said the integration will help grow the adoption of Aptos while maintaining the “highest level of security.” 

For Aptos, the latest development further adds Chainlink’s CCIP to the list of its supported blockchain infrastructure which already consists of renowned networks like Ethereum, Base, BNB ($1,117.59) Chain, Arbitrum, OP ($0.44) Mainnet, and Sonic. 

Side notes 

It is worth mentioning that the expansion to Aptos surfaced shortly after the United States Department of Commerce partnered with Chainlink and Pyth to bring gross domestic product (GDP) on-chain. However, notable executives from Aptos and Chainlink reacted to the latest expansion effort, providing deep insight into the initiative. 

Ash Pampati, SVP, Head of Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation opined that the expansion further strengthens the institutional readiness of the ecosystem. Pampati added that the integration provides the needed infrastructure for the next wave of innovation in the DeFi space. 

Likewise, Thodoris Karakostas, Director, Blockchain and Product Partnerships at Chainlink Labs discussed how the CCIP on Aptos is capable of supporting developers to design applications that support tokenized assets. Karakostas added that the innovation will help put in place the next stage of on-chain financial markets.
