Transporter, created jointly with the Chainlink Foundation and Chainlink Labs, functions using the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). Chainlink has positioned CCIP as an advanced development in cross-chain bridging technologies.
The Transporter application features a user-friendly interface that facilitates the submission and tracking of cross-chain transactions. Sergey Nazarov, mentioned that the application leverages the security aspects of CCIP efficiently, particularly for handling transactions that include large amounts of tokens and important data across diverse blockchains.
The Transporter supports a variety of blockchain networks including Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, and Polygon. It utilizes the CCIP system and requires users to pay only the existing transaction costs and CCIP service provider fees, without additional charges.
