Foresight News reports that Chainlink has announced the release of the CCIP v1.5 upgrade, which introduces the Cross Chain Token (CCT) standard for its cross chain interoperability protocol. This allows token developers to integrate new and existing tokens with CCIP in a self-service manner within minutes. CCT is a cross chain native token protected by CCIP. In addition, CCIP v1.5 introduces a new token developer proof feature, allowing token developers to participate in the optional verification layer of their CCT by proving token destruction or lock events on the source chain before CCIP mints or unlocks tokens on the target chain. Token developers can also access the CCIP Token Manager after the CCIP v1.5 mainnet is launched. The CCIP v1.5 upgrade is now available on all supported blockchain test networks and will soon be launched on the blockchain mainnet.
