CCIP
Chainlink CCIP connects public and private blockchains to move data and digital assets with compliance and security controls.
About CCIP
CCIP is a cross-chain interoperability protocol from Chainlink. It is designed to connect public and private blockchains so that data and digital assets can move between them. The homepage positions it mainly for institutions such as asset managers, custodians, banks, and DeFi asset issuers that need to distribute tokenized assets across several networks through one integration.
The homepage describes optional independent verification through Cross-Chain Verifiers (CCVs), which can be operated by the user's organization or by trusted third parties. It also describes the Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), which can enforce issuer-defined policies such as KYC, AML, sanctions screening, and transaction limits. Settlement timing can be set to full finality for high-value transfers or to shorter confirmation thresholds for eligible transfers. The homepage does not state pricing, and the excerpt provided does not describe geographic or usage limits.
