Ronin Ditches Legacy Bridge for Chainlink CCIP—GameFi Just Got a Security Upgrade
Ronin—the blockchain backbone of Axie Infinity—just swapped its creaky old bridge for Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). The move slashes counterparty risk while giving developers a standardized toolkit for cross-chain swaps. No more bespoke security audits or patchwork solutions.
Why it matters: Ronin’s 2022 bridge hack drained $625M. Chainlink’s oracle-powered architecture adds bulletproof validation—assuming, of course, you still trust ’trustless’ systems after a decade of DeFi rug pulls.
The bottom line: GameFi’s favorite chain just future-proofed its plumbing. Now if only someone could fix the tokenomics.
