We’re excited to announce that the Chainlink standard for onchain finance is live on Botanix on day one of its mainnet launch. The Chainlink interoperability and data standard, including Chainlink CCIP, Data Streams, and Data Feeds, now serves as Botanix’s official cross-chain and data infrastructure. Developers can leverage CCIP to build highly secure applications that significantly enhance the utility of Bitcoin and expand the Chainlink Scale member’s reach across the multichain ecosystem, while Data Streams and Data Feeds deliver secure onchain data to power the next generation of BTCFi applications.

As the multichain ecosystem expands, secure and reliable cross-chain infrastructure is essential for building performant, production-ready applications. By adopting Chainlink CCIP, Botanix developers gain access to battle-tested infrastructure built for seamless cross-chain connectivity. Powered by Chainlink’s proven track record in securing high-value onchain applications, CCIP provides the reliability needed to move assets and data across chains with confidence.

Key benefits of CCIP include:

• Battle-tested security—CCIP’s consensus layer is powered by the same Chainlink Decentralized Oracle Network (DON) infrastructure that has secured $75+ billion in DeFi TVL at its peak and enabled $22+ trillion in onchain transaction value since the start of 2022.

• Secure Token Transfers—CCTs are token logic agnostic, meaning token developers can deploy pre-audited token pool contracts to turn any ERC20-compatible token into a CCT or deploy their own custom token pool contracts for bespoke token use cases. CCTs do not require token developers to inherit any CCIP-specific code within their token’s smart contract. CCTs also benefit from additional security functions in their CCIP token pools such as configurable rate limits and reliability features such as Smart Execution, which helps ensure reliable transaction execution on the destination chain regardless of blockchain network congestion.

• Programmable Token Transfers—CCIP enables the transfer of value (via CCTs) cross-chain along with data instructions informing the receiving smart contract on what to do with those tokens once they arrive on the destination chain. Through cross-chain programmability, CCIP can condense a complex set of actions involving multiple users, blockchains, and assets down to a single atomic cross-chain instruction.

• Extendable and future-proof—CCIP is built to be future-proof for developers, where future improvements can continue to be made, including the integration of new blockchain networks, the onboarding of additional tokens, and additional layers of security and reliability..

Along with secure cross-chain interoperability, access to tamper-proof market data is essential for building robust onchain applications. By adopting Chainlink Data Feeds, Botanix is providing developers with a foundation to build highly-secure applications, accelerating ecosystem growth and adoption. As BTCFi applications on Botanix continue to scale toward higher throughput and more complex automation, latency becomes a critical factor. Chainlink Data Streams provides Botanix developers with the infrastructure to deliver CEX-like responsiveness while maintaining the transparency and composability of BTCFi.

“By adopting Chainlink CCIP as our official cross-chain solution—along with Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams—we’re giving developers the tools they need to build the next generation of BTCFi applications on Botanix. Whether it's secure token transfers, low-latency market data, or cross-chain messaging, Chainlink provides the reliability and scalability required to drive adoption.”— Willem Schroé, CEO at Botanix Labs.

"Botanix launching with day one support for Chainlink CCIP, Data Feeds, and Data Streams marks a major milestone in the evolution of BTCFi. With Chainlink’s interoperability and data standard live from Botanix’s launch, developers can build next-gen BTCFi applications, enabling access to trillions in Bitcoin liquidity."—Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs.
