Chainlink expands L2 coverage
Chainlink broadened CCIP and CRE service coverage across multiple L2s — including Scroll, Sonic and X Layer testnet — boosting cross‑chain data feeds and interoperability for L2 DeFi apps. That expansion increases oracle reliability for emerging L2 yield and tokenized‑asset use cases. (x.com)
Chainlink’s developer changelog records multiple CCIP integration entries and token-support updates between March 2–8, 2026, marking a concentrated rollout window for new network support.

(ccip.chain.link)) CRE release notes show CRE CLI v1.3.0 published March 5, 2026 and list new mainnet support for Jovay, Pharos and XLayer, with required SDK versions for production deployment. (docs.chain.link)) Sonic Labs announced its Chainlink CCIP and Data Feeds integration on January 22, 2025 and stated Sonic joined the Chainlink Scale program to subsidize oracle and cross‑chain costs for early developers. (blog.soniclabs.com)) OKX/3rd‑party coverage notes X Layer’s Chainlink integration and Chainlink Scale participation, highlighting that X Layer aimed to give developers low‑cost access to premium feeds and CCIP tooling. (web3.okx.com)) Chainlink posted that CCIP SDK v1.0, CCIP CLI v1.0, and CCIP API v2 became generally available in early March 2026, providing programmatic SDKs and REST endpoints for sending messages, transferring tokens, and querying CCIP activity.
