X Layer Joins Chainlink Scale and Adopts CCIP to Power Secure, Efficient Cross-Chain Innovation
Today, we're excited to announce that X Layer has joined the Chainlink Scale program and selected the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as our canonical cross-chain infrastructure.
By integrating Chainlink’s industry-leading oracle network, X Layer developers now gain direct access to high-quality, tamper-proof market data, the same data infrastructure trusted by roughly 70% of Web3 projects to power secure DeFi, trading, and automation.
What This Means for X Layer
Through the Chainlink Scale program, X Layer covers oracle and cross-chain service costs, allowing developers to access Chainlink’s premium data feeds and cross-chain tools at minimal or no cost. This dramatically reduces operational overhead and boosts development efficiency, so teams can focus on building high-impact applications rather than managing infrastructure.
Chainlink CCIP on X Layer Enables:
Defense-in-depth security, powered by the same infrastructure securing $100B+ in DeFi TVL
Tamper-proof data access for accurate pricing, risk management, and onchain logic
Secure, programmable cross-chain token transfers with configurable rate limits and Smart Execution
Future-proof scalability, with seamless integration of new networks and upgrades
Together, Chainlink and X Layer empower developers with trust-minimized data, secure interoperability, and lower costs, creating a faster, more efficient foundation for next-generation Web3 applications.
Why X Layer Chose Chainlink
After extensive evaluation of cross-chain infrastructure options, X Layer selected Chainlink CCIP based on its unmatched security record and proven reliability. Chainlink's infrastructure has maintained the highest standards in Web3, making it the natural choice for X Layer's commitment to providing developers with institutional-grade tools.
This integration represents an ecosystem where developers can build with confidence, knowing they have access to the same battle-tested oracle services that power the world's leading DeFi protocols.

About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi. Chainlink Scale allows blockchains and layer-2 networks to fast-track smart contract innovation in their native ecosystems by covering operating costs (e.g. transaction gas fees) of Chainlink oracle networks for a period of time.
Many of the world’s largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink’s standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve. Learn more at chain.link.
