Etherisc, a leading decentralized insurance platform, has made a significant stride in improving interoperability within the blockchain ecosystem by integrating Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).
This integration spans across the Ethereum mainnet and Base, a layer-2 scaling solution built by Coinbase. Through Chainlink’s CCIP, Etherisc’s native token DIP now enjoys seamless and secure connectivity between the Ethereum network and the Base layer-2 network.
The collaboration between Etherisc and Chainlink underscores the importance of reliable, tamper-proof on-chain data in decentralized insurance. Chainlink’s proven track record in providing secure and reliable data oracles has enabled Etherisc to develop its products in a secure and efficient manner.
This marks the first use case of CCIP for Etherisc, paving the way for the creation of seamless multichain decentralized applications (dApps) for staking and accessing insurance solutions across various chains.

Etherisc’s Expansion with Base Network Integration
Etherisc’s vision is to establish its ecosystem as the standard choice for insurance players within the blockchain economy. To overcome the challenges posed by Ethereum’s network congestion and high transaction fees, Etherisc has initiated a pilot program to utilize the Base network.
Base, developed by Coinbase, is an Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution designed to facilitate faster transactions while leveraging the security of the Ethereum mainnet. It provides a developer-friendly, low-fee, and highly scalable environment, along with easy access to Coinbase’s user base and assets.
By integrating with the Base network, Etherisc aims to enhance the accessibility and affordability of its services for users. Token holders will soon be able to trade DIP on Base Uniswap, leveraging its innovative, low-gas infrastructure.
Additionally, features such as DIP staking will be introduced in the near future. Through the use of Chainlink’s CCIP, tokens currently on the Ethereum mainnet can be seamlessly bridged to Base, providing users with enhanced liquidity and utility.
Chainlink CCIP: Ensuring Secure Cross-Chain Transactions
Etherisc’s decision to leverage Chainlink’s CCIP underscores the protocol’s robust security features and reliability within the Web3 industry. CCIP is supported by the Risk Management Network, an independent network that continuously monitors and verifies cross-chain operations for any suspicious activity.
This additional layer of security is crucial in safeguarding user funds, especially in light of historical exploits and vulnerabilities in cross-chain infrastructure.
“Chainlink has been mission-critical for Etherisc from the beginning,” said Christoph Mussenbrock, CEO of Etherisc. “CCIP has remarkable security benefits that help ensure cross-chain token transfers will stay secure both now and in the future while minimizing the number of dependencies Etherisc relies on.” With Chainlink’s CCIP integration, Etherisc is well-positioned to drive further innovation and adoption within the decentralized insurance space, providing users with enhanced accessibility, security, and reliability.
