Its infrastructure powers Data Feeds, Data Streams, Proof of Reserve, and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), enabling secure asset transfers and messaging across ecosystems. Trusted by major financial institutions and DeFi protocols including Swift, Mastercard, Euroclear, Aave, and Lido, Chainlink has facilitated tens of trillions of dollars in transaction value while maintaining a proven track record of reliability across leading blockchain networks.

The edgeX Bridge tracks the assets users deposit to trade on edgeX, the order book exchange for perpetuals and spot. Funds are held in edgeX contracts across Ethereum, Arbitrum and the edgeX L1, while trades are matched at high speed on the exchange and settled with on-chain custody. The bridged balance is the collateral that backs trading across edgeX products.
