Chainlink has launched CCIP 2.0, an upgrade to its cross-chain protocol that allows institutions to operate their own custom verifiers alongside Chainlink's default 16-node committee. This change aims to reduce the risk of hacks by eliminating single points of failure in token transfers between blockchains, a problem highlighted by a $292 million hack on a LayerZero-linked project earlier this year. The Risk Management Network's automated offchain role is now inactive, with the on-chain contract serving only as an emergency backstop. CCIP 2.0 secures over $84 billion in tokenized assets and provides institutions more flexibility and security options, although live deployments of custom verifiers are still just beginning.
Chainlink's new CCIP 2.0 upgrade follows a $292 million hack on a LayerZero-linked project earlier this year.
