Chainlink CCIP - Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol
Build with CCIP
Build cross-chain applications using the CCIP API, SDK and CLI. Send data and tokens across blockchains with built-in security, whether you’re prototyping locally or running in production.
Quick Links
Enable a Cross-Chain Token
Configure how a token behaves across chains, including supply management, permissions, and supported networks.
Programmable Token Transfers
Combine value and execution in a single cross-chain operation. Use this when transfers alone are not enough.
CCIP Message Lifecycle
Understand the lifecycle of a CCIP 2.0 message, from creation to finality across chains.
Tools
CCIP REST API
REST API for querying CCIP message status, execution details, and network data.
TypeScript SDK
Client library for interacting with CCIP from applications and backend services.
CLI
Command-line tooling for interacting with CCIP and automating common development and operational workflows.
Starter Kits and Utilities

CCIP Solidity Interfaces & Contracts
Solidity interfaces and contracts for integrating CCIP directly into smart contracts.
Developer Resources
Transfer Tokens (Contract)
Unlock seamless token transfers from contracts; learn, code, and deploy.
Transfer Tokens with Data (PTT)
Programmable Token Transfers: attach data/logic to token movements.
Defensive Transfers
Patterns for safer programmable transfers and failure modes.

Implement lock-mint token registration using Hardhat or Foundry.
Set Token Pool Rate Limits
Update rate limiter settings for CCTs using your dev toolchain.
Send Arbitrary Messages
Application-level cross-chain messaging patterns and examples.
A → B → A Confirmation Pattern
Reliable two-step acknowledgement pattern for cross-chain workflows.
Test CCIP Locally
Run local test environments for CCIP development and experimentation.
