Full story
Chainlink (LINK) just rose 6%.
That’s great, but while we like to see green, crypto projects are constantly rising and falling in value.

The why in the case of LINK? The adoption of its ‘Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol’ (CCIP).
Confused? Lettuce explain:
Chainlink is known as an “oracle” blockchain.
That’s a nerdy way of saying: it collects data from trusted third parties, puts it on the blockchain, and charges people for access to that verified information.
(Which is super useful if you want to automate something like ‘buy X when Y happens’ or ‘sell Y when X happens’).
LINK worked well… and in July the team found out CCIPs launched which simplify the process of sending cross-chain transactions.
(For example, do you want to buy an Ethereum NFT but only have SOL? You need to make a cross-chain transaction).
