Today, we are excited to announce that X Layer has joined the Chainlink SCALE program and has selected Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as our official cross-chain infrastructure.
By integrating Chainlink's industry-leading oracle network, developers on X Layer can now gain direct access to high-quality, tamper-resistant market data. This data infrastructure is trusted by approximately 70% of Web3 projects to power secure DeFi, trading, and automation operations.
Significance for X Layer
By joining the Chainlink SCALE program, X Layer will cover the costs associated with oracle and cross-chain services, enabling developers to access Chainlink's premium data feeds and cross-chain tools at very low or even zero cost. This significantly reduces operational overhead, enhances development efficiency, and allows teams to focus on building high-impact applications without being distracted by infrastructure management.
Chainlink CCIP capabilities on X Layer include:
• Defense-in-Depth Security: Relying on the same infrastructure securing over $100B in DeFi TVL.
• Tamper-Resistant Data Access: Ensuring accurate pricing, controllable risk, and supporting on-chain logic execution.
• Secure Programmable Token Transfers: Configurable rate limits and support for smart execution.
• Future-Proof Scalability: Easy integration of new networks and upgrades.
Together, Chainlink and X Layer provide developers with trust-minimized data, reliable cross-chain interoperability, and lower costs, building a faster and more efficient infrastructure for the next generation of Web3 applications.
Why X Layer Chose Chainlink
After an in-depth evaluation of various cross-chain infrastructure options, X Layer ultimately selected Chainlink CCIP, primarily due to Chainlink's unparalleled security track record and proven reliability. Chainlink's infrastructure has long maintained the highest standards in the Web3 space, making it the natural choice for X Layer's commitment to providing developers with institutional-grade tools.
This integration creates an ecosystem where developers can build with confidence, leveraging the same battle-tested oracle services that support the world's leading DeFi protocols.

About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform for capital markets and powers the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink tech stack provides the core data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards required to power advanced blockchain applications, including institutional-grade tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing the decentralized oracle network, Chainlink has enabled trillions in transaction value and secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Many of the world's largest financial institutions have adopted Chainlink's standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and more. Chainlink employs an innovative fee model that converts on-chain and off-chain value from enterprise adoption into the LINK token, deposited into the strategic Chainlink Reserve.
