We’re excited to announce that Chainlink Build member Ultimate Digits has integrated Chainlink CCIP—the industry standard for secure cross-chain interoperability—across the Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Metis, and Polygon mainnets. We’re leveraging CCIP’s arbitrary messaging functionality to enable our virtual number NFTs issued on Base with seamless cross-chain functionality. This allows these NFTs to operate across multiple blockchains, enhancing interoperability and expanding their utility beyond a single network.

We selected CCIP as our preferred interoperability solution because Chainlink has the most proven track record of maintaining the highest standard of security and reliability in the blockchain industry, with CCIP being the only interoperability solution achieving level-5 cross-chain security. Furthermore, CCIP is backed by the Risk Management Network—a separate, independent network that continually monitors and verifies cross-chain operations for suspicious activity. This additional layer of security is particularly important given historical industry exploits and the billions in user funds lost due to unreliable cross-chain infrastructure.

Thanks to its principle-driven approach, Chainlink has built one of the largest ecosystems in the blockchain industry and is being established as the industry-standard blockchain connectivity standard within capital markets. Connecting Ultimate Digits to the Chainlink community and ecosystem offers a multitude of growth opportunities that help Ultimate Digits get closer to its goals and increase ecosystem adoption.

Ultimate Digits transforms existing mobile numbers into crypto wallet addresses, simplifying digital payments for users. By leveraging the familiarity of mobile numbers, Ultimate Digits provides an intuitive bridge between traditional financial systems and Web3. Users can easily transfer cryptocurrencies and NFTs using just a mobile number, enhancing accessibility and convenience. For privacy-conscious individuals, virtual Web3 mobile numbers are offered as NFTs on Ethereum, ensuring secure and compliant transactions. Ultimate Digits’ goal is to enable seamless conversions between crypto and fiat, making digital transactions as straightforward as sending a text message.

In order to help secure our multi-chain number NFTs, we needed access to a highly secure and reliable interoperability solution. After reviewing various solutions, we integrated Chainlink CCIP because it provides a multitude of important benefits and features, such as:

• Defense-in-depth 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 $16+ trillion in onchain transaction value since the start of 2022. Each CCIP transfer is redundantly validated by multiple DONs, including an independent Risk Management Network that continuously monitors and validates the behavior of CCIP—a wholly unique concept in cross-chain interoperability that builds upon established engineering principles (N-version programming).

• Seamless integration—CCIP offers a unified cross-chain developer experience by providing a single, easy-to-integrate interface. Developers only need to integrate the CCIP Router onchain to start building secure cross-chain applications. CCIP eliminates the need for developers to write custom code for chain-specific integrations, while users can interact with any blockchain via a single interface.

• 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 the incorporation of new defense-in-depth approaches to security.

“Integrating Chainlink CCIP marks a pivotal step for Ultimate Digits. With CCIP’s unparalleled security and reliability, we can confidently enable our virtual number NFTs to operate seamlessly, significantly enhancing their capabilities. As we continue to evolve, we are excited to leverage the growth opportunities within the Chainlink ecosystem to make digital transactions effortless.”— Ayan Uali, Co-Founder.
