title: Ronin Network Completes Its Move to Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP)

The Ronin network completed its move to the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) an advancement for its blockchain cross-chain infrastructure.

The Ronin network has completed its move to the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), a significant step for the blockchain's cross-chain infrastructure. This transition completes a critical shift from the deprecated Ronin Bridge, which previously handled over $450 million in total value locked (TVL). The new CCIP system will enhance secure token transfers between the blockchain and other blockchains, providing users with improved security for bridging their assets.

As part of this process, all tokens from the old Ronिन Bridge are integrated into the new system that uses Chainlink’s CCIP infrastructure. The protocol depends on Chainlink’s decentralized oracle networks (DONs) to establish a consensus layer for validating every cross-chain transfer. Token transfers within such a decentralized structure benefit from enhanced security, which protects assets against security vulnerabilities common in traditional bridging systems.

Users can now utilize Chainlink’s CCIP to bridge a variety of tokens, including AXS, USDC, SLP, WETH, and WBTC, to and from the Ronin network. CCIP’s token transfer functionalities remain secure while remaining highly efficient with features that allow rate limit configuration and Smart Execution even under heavy network congestion. These upgrades reduce the risks of transaction failures offering users a more reliable and smoother experience.

Adopting the Chainlink CCIP bolsters the network development and scalability with its strategic move to support the ongoing development and scalability. The new infrastructure will help developers build cross-chain solutions that provide the necessary tools for creating decentralized applications (dApps) and gaming functions. Through this migration, the network creates potential connections to additional blockchains to offer access to decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming platforms within their ecosystem.

Trung Nguyen, the CEO and Co-Founder of Sky Mavis, explains that the network transition to CCIP represents a critical advancement. It makes the network accessible and secure for gaming and consumer applications. Through CCIP, developers access a fast and secure cross-chain infrastructure that enables them to innovate and improve project scalability.

The discontinued Ronin Bridge no longer serves users, while the legacy bridge interface is available to complete pending withdrawal requests. The platform allows users to complete transactions and claim assets on Ethereum. The CCIP-powered Bridge app now fully operates, and users are encouraged to use it for all upcoming token exchanges.
