The Graph, an indexing and query protocol, has integrated Chainlinkâs interoperability standard to enable cross-chain transfer of its native token.
The Graph (GRT) announced that this adoption of the Chainlink (LINK) interoperability standard will allow users to bridge GRT across multiple blockchains, including Solana, Arbitrum and Base.
Tapping into Chainlinkâs cross-chain interoperability protocol is a key step towards the expansion of GRTâs accessibility and utility, The Graph team noted in a blog post.
GRT support for Solana is a major move that will boost not just the SOL ecosystem, but broader blockchain space.
âExtending GRTâs availability to Solana paves the way for deeper collaboration with Solanaâs developer and user communities,â the indexing protocol stated.
CCIP integration will bring cross-chain functionality and features such as cross-chain staking, delegation, and query fee payments. Query fee payments will allow developers to pay for queries on layer 2 chains with GRT.
Rollout of these functionalities however depends on The Graph âs successful unveiling of the targeted bridging infrastructure.
Chainlink continues to expand its technology across the crypto and blockchain industry, with CCIP one of the solutions seeing great adoption.
Most recently, Chainlinkâs CCIP went live on the Solana mainnet, a move set to supercharge the crypto ecosystemâs decentralized finance growth with access to over $18 billion worth of assets on the chain. The integration means Solana developers can now leverage Chainlinkâs cross-chain interoperability standard alongside Data Feeds and Data Streams.
Another platform that has integrated CCIP is Lombard, whose Bitcoin liquid staking token LBTC has seen notable traction with Aave support.
Meanwhile, The Graph launched in 2018, and provides the blockchain platform from which developers can build and deploy decentralized applications across Ethereum, Solana and Arbitrum among other networks.
