Several popular memecoins were added to a number of Chainlink services over the weekend, allowing them to be offered on other networks or as data streaming services.

These streams use an oracle model where market data is continuously available off-chain. Such data can be accessed and then cryptographically verified on-chain when needed.
CCTs are cross-chain assets offered and protected by Chainlink’s security. A lock-and-mint mechanism enables token transfers from Ethereum to other chains, while the burn-and-mint mechanism facilitates cross-chain transfers across all other networks.
