Over $7.2 billion have migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP as Mantle joins exodus

Share This Post

More than $7.2 billion in cross-chain and wrapped assets have migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) since May, with Mantle becoming the latest project to replace LayerZero for high-value token transfers.

Mantle said it is migrating its Super Portal, which it co-developed with Bybit, from LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard.

LayerZero and Chainlink CCIP both let token holders move assets between blockchains, a basic requirement as crypto markets spread across competing networks.

The infrastructure matters because bridges between different blockchains have become one of crypto’s largest security risks, with a single failure able to expose hundreds of millions of dollars in user assets.

The portal enables transfers of the MNT token between Ethereum and Solana, with support for additional blockchain networks planned.

The migration includes MNT, the native token of Mantle’s network, which has more than $2.5 billion in value locked. Mantle’s move pushes the total value of announced migrations from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP above $7.24 billion.
