Chainlink has extended its services to two new networks: Arc, Circle’s institutional layer-1 blockchain, and MOVA Chain, a DeFi-focused network. Arc’s mainnet launched on September 16, 2026 with Chainlink infrastructure already running underneath. Arc’s validators include major institutions such as BlackRock, Visa, Mastercard, DTCC, and ICE, and gas fees on the network are paid in USDC rather than a volatile native token. MOVA Chain adopted Chainlink’s CCIP in July 2026, giving it access to a network of over 50 chains without building custom cross-chain bridges. The CCIP network now spans more than 50 chains, and each new integration expands the possible cross-chain connections available to all participating projects.
