Summary

Analyst Tom Wan said multiple crypto protocols with about $2 billion in total value locked, or TVL (assets deposited in a protocol), plan to migrate to Chainlink CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol), which is designed to support cross-chain messaging and token transfers. The projects named were KelpDAO with $1.5 billion in TVL, SolvProtocol with $600 million, and re with $200 million. The update points to continued competition among interoperability providers, which supply the infrastructure used to connect separate blockchains and move assets or data between them. The source also noted that LayerZero Labs, another cross-chain infrastructure provider, had earlier apologized for a security incident and disclosed remediation measures.

Terms & Concepts
  • TVL (total value locked): The total value of assets deposited in a crypto protocol, often used as a measure of size and user activity.
  • Chainlink CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol): A protocol for sending messages, tokens, and data between different blockchains through a standardized interoperability framework.
  • Cross-chain interoperability: The ability of separate blockchains to communicate and transfer assets or information with each other.
