Decentralized blockchain oracle protocol Chainlink has launched a new bridging tool called Transporter.
Chainlink Transporter: The New Transfer Standard?
According to Chainlink, Transporter is an app that is used to move digital assets as well as messages across different blockchains. Chainlink Transporter, which the protocol described as the “next evolution in cross-chain bridging” is powered by the recently launched Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).
It was created in collaboration with the Chainlink Foundation and developer Chainlink Labs. At the core of the app is the capacity to offer users a friendly interface where they can submit and monitor their cross-chain transactions via CCIP. Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov acknowledged that the new product accentuates CCIP’s security features.
We are excited to introduce @transporter_io, the next evolution in cross-chain bridging, powered by #Chainlink CCIP.
Transporter is your gateway to the multi-chain universe.

“Transporter makes it easier to utilize the security benefits of Chainlink CCIP for the transfer of large token value and critical messages across chains,” Nazarov explained while also pointing to the fact that secured movement of value and data across chains is a core interest for the blockchain industry.
Chainlink Transporter has other endearing features including facilitating token transfer across several blockchains. Some of the supported blockchain networks are Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Optimism and Polygon. As a protocol that utilizes Chainlink CCIP system, it does not require users to pay any additional fees beyond existing transaction costs and CCIP service provider fees.
Chainlink Launches New CCIP Token Token Transfer Tool
Many early adopters including venture capital firms Fourth Revolution Capital and Moonrock Capital, are currently exploring the app. A few of these users perceive that the launch of Transporter will contribute significantly to making the decentralized computing platform the standard for cross-chain enablement, particularly from high-end cases.
“We’re excited to witness the launch of Transporter, which we expect to play a significant role in bringing secure cross-chain connectivity to a large user base across the blockchain ecosystem,” Moonrock Capital CEO Simon Dedic stated.
The launch of Transporter came with the unveiling of a new CCIP token transfer tool. On Thursday, Chainlink introduced a tool that facilitates the transfer of native Ethereum (ETH) from cross-chain through WETH token pools. Noteworthy, this is the first time that a lock-and-unlock mechanism is implemented in CCIP.
LINK is trading at $17.32 with a 5.5% jump in the last 24 hours, a jump that the launch of Transporter and the new token transfer tool might have triggered.
Prior to this uptick, the LINK token suffered a dip briefly earlier this week despite the protocol announcing the launch of its key Functions and products on Base.
