X Layer Joins Chainlink's SCALE Program, Adopts CCIP Technology to Power Secure and Efficient Cross-Chain Innovation

Source: X Layer

Today, we are excited to announce that X Layer has joined the Chainlink SCALE program and has chosen Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as our official cross-chain infrastructure.

By integrating Chainlink's industry-leading oracle network, X Layer's developers can now directly access high-quality, tamper-proof market data. This data infrastructure is trusted by around 70% of Web3 projects to support secure DeFi, trading, and automated operations.

Significance for X Layer

By joining the Chainlink SCALE program, X Layer will cover the costs related to oracles and cross-chain services, enabling developers to access Chainlink's advanced data sources and cross-chain tools at very low or even zero cost. This significantly reduces operating expenses, improves development efficiency, and allows teams to focus on building high-impact applications without being distracted by infrastructure management.

Chainlink CCIP Features on X Layer Include:

• Deeply Secure Protection: Safeguarding DeFi TVL of over $100 billion with the same infrastructure

• Tamper-Proof Data Access: Ensuring accurate pricing, manageable risks, and supporting on-chain logic execution

• Securely Programmable Cross-Chain Token Transfers: Configurable rate limits and support for smart execution

• Future-Facing Scalability: Easy integration of new networks and upgrades

By collaborating with Chainlink, X Layer provides developers with trust-minimized data, reliable cross-chain interoperability, and lower costs, creating faster and more efficient infrastructure for the next generation of Web3 applications.

Reasons for X Layer Choosing Chainlink

After in-depth evaluation of various cross-chain infrastructures, X Layer ultimately chose Chainlink CCIP, primarily due to Chainlink's unparalleled security track record and verified reliability. Chainlink's infrastructure has long maintained the highest standards in the Web3 space, making it the natural choice for X Layer's commitment to providing developers with institutional-grade tools.

This integration has created an ecosystem that gives developers confidence: they can rely on battle-tested oracle services to build applications supporting leading global DeFi protocols.

Get Started Building Now

With X Layer's performance of up to 5,000 TPS, nearly zero Gas costs, and seamless integration with the OKX ecosystem—now further strengthened by the addition of the Chainlink full-stack oracle platform—developers have all the tools they need to drive the next wave of cross-chain DeFi innovation.

About Chainlink

Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform that brings off-chain data on-chain and powers most decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink technology stack provides the core data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards required to support institutional-grade tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and other advanced blockchain applications. Since inventing the decentralized oracle network, Chainlink has facilitated trillions of dollars in transactions and secured the vast majority of DeFi.

Many global financial institutions have adopted Chainlink's standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols like Aave, GMX, Lido, and more. Chainlink employs an innovative fee model that converts enterprise adoption-driven on-chain and off-chain revenue into LINK tokens, which are deposited into a strategic Chainlink reserve.
