Chainlink aims to make cross-chain bridges, which account for nearly 50% of all value lost to DeFi exploits, more secure.
Chainlink’s newly launched cross-chain messaging app aims to solve the pressing security concerns around cross-chain crypto transfers, a Chainlink spokesperson told Cointelegraph:
Chainlink announced the launch of Transporter, a cross-chain messaging app for bridging tokens, on April 11. Built on Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), Transporter aims to foster more secure cross-chain crypto transfers with a beginner-friendly app interface.
Cross-chain bridges help users facilitate transactions between different blockchain networks. They represent some of the most significant points of vulnerability in crypto.
