Shiba Inu has partnered with Chainlink to integrate the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) into its Shibarium layer 2 network, enhancing cross-chain capabilities. This collaboration allows Shiba Inu tokens BONE, LEASH, and TREAT to adopt the Cross-Chain Token standard, enabling their use across 12 blockchains. The CCIP facilitates secure token transfers, arbitrary messaging, and programmable token transfers, significantly expanding the Shiba Inu ecosystem's functionality.
