Shiba Inu Dev Reacts as Shibarium Looks to Integrate Chainlink’s CCIP for Chain Interoperability

Date:

Written By:

Shiba Inu developer Dhairya reacts to a disclosure suggesting the potential integration of Chainlink’s CCIP for Shibarium, the ecosystem’s layer-2 network.

Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain network for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, is on the verge of integrating Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), a move that could improve its interoperability. 

This development came to light when The Bus, a prominent Shiba Inu community figure, analyzed code details involving the integration. He shared screenshots of the codebase highlighting details of Shibarium’s possible integration with CCIP.

The screenshots show a “PriceRegistry” smart contract, which facilitates the conversion of token amounts across blockchain networks. Notably, the contract uses Chainlink’s technology to validate token prices and ensure accurate cross-chain token transfers.

With the integration not yet officially announced by the Shibarium team, The Bus’ disclosure triggered a reaction from Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya, who acknowledged the pundit’s knack for uncovering major updates around Shibarium and the broader ecosystem.

What is Chainlink’s CCIP?

For the uninitiated, Chainlink’s CCIP is a protocol that allows seamless interoperability between different blockchain networks. It enables dApps and smart contracts to transfer tokens and data securely across multiple blockchains without the need for a bridge.

CCIP uses Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network to ensure reliable, tamper-proof communication and reduce risks associated with single points of failure. The protocol is particularly useful for cross-chain lending, liquidity optimization, and building dApps that utilize multiple blockchains.

How CCIP Enhances Shibarium

Integrating Chainlink’s CCIP will allow Shibarium to broaden its ecosystem and bolster interoperability by connecting with other blockchains. Currently, asset transfers involving Shibarium and other networks rely on bridges.

Notably, in the network’s early days, moving assets with Ethereum, its underlying layer-1 network, had a duration of 7 days. Interestingly, the Shibarium team reduced this duration to 45 minutes in May. Despite this, asset transfers still demand some substantial wait time. 

The integration of CCIP can improve user experiences by allowing Shibarium-based assets to interact with different chains, increasing liquidity. For instance, network participants could use tokens native to Shibarium in applications or operations on chains like Ethereum, Polygon, or Avalanche. 

Without official confirmation and details, the extent to which CCIP could help bolster Shibarium’s interoperability remains unclear at press time.

The development syncs with Shibarium’s goal to expand utility within the DeFi space and bolster adoption. Adopting this cross-chain protocol could attract developers seeking interoperable solutions.

Despite boasting 4.68 million daily transactions at press time, the Shibarium team is actively looking to improve adoption. In a commentary last week, Shiba Inu lead Shytoshi Kusama stressed that mass adoption could help attract major centralized exchanges to Shibarium.

Notably, the latest disclosure follows several milestones clinched by Shibarium in recent times. Remarkably, the network hit an impressive 500 million transactions milestone on Nov. 16, fifteen months after launch. Two days ago, Shibarium’s TVL also reached a new peak of $8.7 million.
