TON Makes Toncoin Cross-Chain as Chainlink Expands CCIP and Data Streams

TLDR:

• Chainlink’s CCIP enables Toncoin to transfer securely across 60+ blockchains within the expanding DeFi network.
• TON becomes a cross-chain ecosystem, connecting with Chainlink’s infrastructure for broader liquidity and scalability.
• Chainlink Data Streams bring low-latency, high-frequency market data to TON’s decentralized finance environment.
• TON’s link with Chainlink’s network gives its Telegram-based ecosystem access to real-time cross-chain DeFi applications.
  

Chainlink and The Open Network (TON) are taking a big step toward a fully connected blockchain ecosystem. The oracle provider is bringing its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and Data Streams to TON, making Toncoin a cross-chain asset for the first time. 

The move links TON to over 60 blockchains while giving its users access to real-time, low-latency data. It also opens the door for developers to build more responsive DeFi applications within TON. The announcement was made on October 31 through a press release by Chainlink and TON Foundation.

TON Integrates Chainlink CCIP to Enable Cross-Chain Toncoin Transfers

According to Chainlink, CCIP will serve as the official cross-chain infrastructure for Toncoin. This means users can move TON between its native network and other supported blockchains without needing bridges or intermediaries. The integration is based on the Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard, which enables secure, permissionless transfers.

By using Chainlink’s established protocol, TON joins a growing multi-chain ecosystem that already includes major blockchain networks. 

The change will allow any token or protocol that already operates on CCIP to connect to TON directly. This setup creates new liquidity routes and market access for both TON users and developers.

Chainlink’s Director of Blockchain Partnerships, Thodoris Karakostas, said the update equips TON’s ecosystem with the tools needed to scale cross-chain DeFi activity. Through CCIP, Toncoin becomes an active participant in the global crypto market, connecting previously separate blockchain economies.

The integration also strengthens TON’s appeal to users already within the Telegram ecosystem. With built-in wallet features and mini apps reaching hundreds of millions, TON could become a bridge between mainstream users and decentralized finance.

Chainlink Data Streams Bring Real-Time Crypto Insights to TON

Alongside CCIP, Chainlink is also expanding its Data Streams service to TON. This gives the network access to high-frequency, real-time price feeds sourced from major global liquidity providers. 

With sub-second latency, Data Streams can support activities like algorithmic trading, lending, and derivatives.

Chainlink stated that the data service includes strong security verification to ensure reliable execution across markets. The new infrastructure is expected to reduce data delays and enable developers to build advanced DeFi platforms that react to price movements almost instantly.

Glenn Brown, Vice President of Business Development at TON Foundation, said the collaboration represents a major step in making TON ready for global-scale applications. By combining Chainlink’s oracle technology with TON’s fast architecture, developers can build DeFi apps that work seamlessly across blockchains.

The partnership builds on a shared vision of an interconnected, user-focused Web3 environment. With TON now plugged into Chainlink’s multi-chain network, both ecosystems gain access to new liquidity and market depth.
