Chainlink Launched Bridging app Powered by CCIP

Reported by The Block, decentralized computing platform Chainlink has launched a bridging app for moving crypto tokens and messages between blockchains, powered by its cross-chain interoperability protocol.

Built in collaboration with the Chainlink Foundation and developer Chainlink Labs, the “Transporter” app aims to provide a user-friendly interface for submitting and monitoring cross-chain transactions on CCIP, according to a statement shared with The Block.

“Transporter makes it easier to utilize the security benefits of Chainlink CCIP for the transfer of large token value and critical messages across chains,” Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov said. “Having a secure way to move both value and data across chains is something the blockchain industry has needed for years and I’m excited that Transporter is making that more accessible.”

Transporter initially supports token transfers across multiple blockchain networks, including Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Optimism and Polygon. It doesn’t charge additional fees beyond existing transaction costs and CCIP service provider fees.
