CCIP — Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol
Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) enables secure transfer of tokenized assets and messages across different blockchains — adopted by Swift for interbank tokenized settlement tests and by the Australian Stock Exchange for cross-chain digital bond issuance.
Oracle (Blockchain)
A blockchain oracle is a service that provides external, real-world data to smart contracts — essential for tokenized assets that must reference off-chain information like asset prices, interest rates, accreditation status, and regulatory flags.
