Chainlink CCIP is GA - 2024-04-24

Chainlink CCIP is now Generally Available (GA) on mainnet and testnet.

To support your development and implementation needs, we encourage you to reach out to our team of experts for guidance and support. For expert advice, visit the Chainlink CCIP Contact form.

Additionally, the Chainlink CCIP local simulator is available to enhance your development workflow with CCIP. This tool allows you to simulate Chainlink CCIP functionality locally within your Hardhat and Foundry projects. The simulator is designed so you can test your contracts locally and transition smoothly to test networks without any modifications.

Support for WETH transfers and gas limit mainnet increase - 2024-04-11

WETH and support of Lock and Unlock mechanism

Chainlink's CCIP now supports WETH (Wrapped Ether) transfers through the Lock and Unlock token mechanism. This feature allows CCIP to securely lock tokens on the source blockchain and subsequently release an equivalent amount of tokens on the destination blockchain, facilitating seamless cross-chain transfers of WETH.

The introduction of this mechanism enables WETH transfers across several key lanes:

  • Ethereum Mainnet to/from Arbitrum Mainnet.
  • Ethereum Mainnet to/from Optimism Mainnet.
  • Arbitrum Mainnet to/from Optimism Mainnet.

For a specific lane configuration, go to the Mainnet Supported Networks page. For more detailed information on the Lock and Unlock mechanism and its applications, read the Token Pools section.

Gas limit increase on mainnet

The maximum gasLimit that you can set for CCIP messages on mainnet has been increased to 3,000,000 gas units. The change has been documented in the Service Limits page.

v1.0.0 deprecated on mainnet - 2024-04-01

CCIP v1.0.0 is no longer supported on mainnet. You must use the new router addresses listed in the CCIP v1.2.0 configuration page.

v1.2.0 release on mainnet - 2024-01-15

  • There is no change to the router interface, but you must use the new router addresses listed in the CCIP v1.2.0 configuration page.

  • Added support for USDC transfers. USDC transfers are currently supported on the following lanes:

    • From Ethereum Mainnet to Avalanche Mainnet.
    • From Ethereum Mainnet to Arbitrum Mainnet.
    • From Ethereum Mainnet to Base Mainnet.
    • From Ethereum Mainnet to Optimism Mainnet.

  • We've simplified the message sequencing process in our CCIP message handling by removing the strict sequencing flag from the extraArgs field in CCIP messages.

  • The gas limit and maximum message data length for CCIP messages have been adjusted on mainnets. These changes are detailed in the Service Limits documentation.

  • To interact with CCIP v1.2.0 , use the @chainlink/contract-ccip npm package.
