**Cross-Chain Tokens (CCTs)** powered by Chainlink's CCIP are solving a fundamental problem in DeFi: maintaining true dollar parity across blockchains. **Key Benefits:** - Zero slippage transfers between chains - 1:1 value preservation regardless of platform - Native transferability without bridge risks **For Developers:** - Full ownership of token contracts retained - No vendor lock-in concerns - Customizable implementation logic across all chains This technology addresses the fragmentation issue where $1 stablecoins can trade at different values on different chains, creating inefficiencies and arbitrage opportunities.
