- World Chain has tapped Chainlink’s CCIP for cross-protocol interactions.
- The increased utility has drawn a boost for LINK with a mild uptrend.
The World Chain blockchain, prioritizing human verification, has announced a strategic partnership with Chainlink (LINK) for enhanced cross-cross interoperability. This collaboration emphasizes Chainlink’s leading position in assuring data reliability and security in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space.
Word Chain Integrate with Chainlink’s CCIP
The recent partnership has seen World Chain integrating Chainlink’s Cross Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) into its platform. As a result, World Chain users and developers can now seamlessly utilize the CCIP on the network. This integration will allow for the creation of more secure cross-chain apps on World Chain.
Notably, developers on World Chain can utilize the CCIP to build applications that can transfer tokens and send messages. Also, they can leverage the CCIP to initiate transactions between World Chain and over 20 blockchains.
The Chainlink partnership follows on the heels of World Chain’s mainnet debut in October. As CNF discussed earlier, the World Chain protocol, developed by World, prioritizes human verification over bots.
The blockchain aims to unlock new opportunities for developers and accelerate financial inclusion initiatives in regions where crypto provides important financial tools. World Chain works through direct protocol integrations with World ID to prove human verification. It functions alongside Optimism and the broader Ethereum ecosystem as part of the Superchain.
Currently, World Chain has the largest number of individually verified humans globally. The blockchain has verified over 10 million humans, while more than 20 million people use the World App.
Among all Ethereum blockchains, World Chain maintained the highest UOPS/TPS ratio as of January 2025. This indicates that most World Chain users utilize apps rather than automated bots.
A Growing CCIP Integration
The primary function of Chainlink’s CCIP is to permit blockchain communication and data transfer without intermediaries. The CCIP possesses an in-depth security feature, which has enabled over $18 trillion in on-chain transaction value. Additionally, CCIP enables developers to create cross-chain native apps by allowing the movement of arbitrary data between chains.
Recognizing the CCIP’s relevance, several blockchains have leveraged the platform to improve their network performance. In a recent update, CNF covered, BOB Network integrated Chainlink’s CCIP as a canonical infrastructure for its native token. This move is part of BOB’s plans to reach the hybrid Layer 2, consistent with Chainlink’s long-term vision.
Before this integration, B2 Network tapped Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol as its official cross-chain infrastructure. B2 Network leveraged CCIP’s architecture to enable asset interoperability and enhance chain liquidity.
As mentioned in our earlier post, this action fits B2’s aim of building a more linked BTCFi ecosystem. Furthermore, CCIP supports the B2 Network in overcoming cross-chain technological challenges such as token fragmentation and liquidity issues.
These latest CCIP integrations have sparked a bullish sentiment on Chainlink’s native coin, LINK. At press time, LINK has increased by 8.3% within the last 24 hours to $26.20, with a market cap of $16.68 billion.
