According to official information, Mantle announced today that its native cross-chain infrastructure Mantle Super Portal, jointly developed with Bybit, has migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP. Powered by CCIP, Mantle Super Portal will feature enhanced cross-chain security, decentralized node infrastructure protection, advanced risk management, and institutional-grade security standards, providing a higher level of security for cross-chain transfers of MNT tokens valued at over $2.5 billion. Furthermore, as an increasing number of regulated assets such as tokenized stocks are transferred on-chain, the underlying infrastructure supporting them must also meet traditional finance standards. This migration will further solidify Mantle's position as a "distribution layer connecting traditional finance and on-chain liquidity," and also reflects Mantle and Bybit's continued commitment to developing MNT through further integrations, opportunities, and use cases. According to the details provided, Mantle Super Portal will be temporarily closed during the migration, scheduled from July 9 to 15, 2026 (the actual timeframe may be slightly extended). No action is required from users, and transfers will automatically resume upon completion of the migration.

Chainlink announced the launch of the Pangea project in collaboration with FairSquareLab, UniKA, and the euro stablecoin alliance Qivalis, aimed at exploring real-time cross-border foreign exchange settlement models based on stablecoins.According to reports, UniKA's steering committee includes Shinhan Bank, JB Bank, Kbank, FairSquareLab, and OBDIA, with participation from over a dozen Korean commercial banks; Qivalis is supported by 37 leading European banks. Collectively, these institutions represent over $10 trillion in assets under management.The Pangea project will leverage Chainlink's data, interoperability, and orchestration standards, along with FairSquareLab's on-chain FX settlement technology, to enable direct atomic transactions between compliant fiat-pegged digital assets, including the Euro and Korean Won. It aims to drive the transition of the foreign exchange market from traditional T+2 settlement to a T+0 real-time settlement model.
According to CoinDesk, blockchain infrastructure company Chainlink has announced its participation in Project Pangea—a consortium formed by Qivalis, a European stablecoin consortium backed by 37 European banks, and UniKA, the Korean banking alliance representing over 10 commercial banks—collectively managing assets exceeding $10 trillion. The project targets the economic corridor between Europe and Korea, which sees annual trade exceeding $15 billion, aiming to reduce foreign exchange settlement cycles from the traditional T+2 (48 hours) to T+0 (near real-time) using regulated euro- and won-pegged stablecoins, and employing atomic PvP (payment-versus-payment) settlement to mitigate counterparty risk. Chainlink will serve as middleware, translating legacy SWIFT instructions into instant atomic swaps on-chain—without requiring banks to replace their existing payment infrastructure. The project aims to achieve live, compliant transactions within 12 months.
: SaharaAI has responded to the abnormal market volatility of the SAHARA token, stating that the team has noted the situation and is conducting real-time monitoring. Currently, no security issues have been found with the token contract or product, and an internal investigation has been initiated to further confirm the specific reasons for this price fluctuation.SaharaAI emphasized that the token allocations in the wallets of the team and investors have not changed on-chain, and no team or investor tokens have been sold or transferred.In response to the large on-chain transfers that attracted market attention, the project stated that the transactions believed to be related to this price fluctuation were actually pre-planned operations. These were used to replenish liquidity for the cross-chain bridge contract based on Chainlink CCIP, in order to support the recently launched cross-chain bridge functionality. This transfer of 600 million SAHARA tokens was part of a predetermined plan. The cross-chain bridge is operating normally, and an additional 150 million SAHARA tokens will be added subsequently as a liquidity supplement.SaharaAI stated that it is still investigating the cause of the abnormal market movement and will disclose further progress once confirmable information is obtained.
