After careful evaluation of all available options, Huma has chosen to adopt Chainlink CCIP over LayerZero and others as the exclusive cross-chain infrastructure for Huma’s core yield product (PST) and all future yield products because it provides the most secure off the shelf solution in the industry.
NEW YORK, April 30th, 2026, 4PM ET – As part of ongoing security reviews and in light of recent cross-chain hacks, leading PayFi network Huma Finance conducted an extensive evaluation of cross-chain solutions and chose to adopt the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as its exclusive bridging infrastructure for its core yield product (PST) and all future yield products because it provides the highest level of security in the industry, by default.
Cross-chain bridges remain one of the most sensitive and high-risk areas in DeFi, with insecure bridges bringing systemic risk to the entire blockchain industry. Recent security incidents have made this explicitly clear and reinforced the requirement that all protocols adopt the interoperability solution with the most robust security and decentralization. The ability to configure additional layers of risk management, including rate limits, issuer attestations, and policy based controls, became a critical component of cross-chain design for institutional assets.
By adopting Chainlink’s data and interoperability standards to bridge its Solana-based yield assets onto the broader multi-chain ecosystem, Huma establishes a security-first foundation for its users seeking yield backed by real payment flows. Leveraging Decentralized Oracle Networks (DONs), every CCIP bridge lane is secured by a minimum of 16 high-quality, security-reviewed, independent node operators. Additionally, Chainlink’s Data Feeds and Data Streams are enabling Huma to unlock secure and reliable markets for PST across the multi-chain ecosystem.
Huma enables global payments with instant access to stablecoin liquidity, having recently surpassed $12 billion in cumulative onchain transaction volume and $170+ million in active liquidity. For protocols bridging real-world payment flows, any failure in cross-chain infrastructure directly impacts user trust and capital. Institutional capital requires reliable, auditable, and secure systems to confidently participate in decentralized markets.
“As we scale real-world payment financing onchain, security is the first requirement. By adopting Chainlink as our exclusive bridging infrastructure and leveraging the Chainlink data and interoperability standards, Huma is securing PST and all future products with the most reliable infrastructure in the industry. Chainlink gives our users and partners the security to leverage institutional-grade yield at scale.”—Richard Liu, Co-founder & Co-CEO, Huma Finance
"We’re excited to see Huma adopt Chainlink CCIP as its exclusive bridging infrastructure. By adopting the Chainlink standard for data and interoperability, Huma unlocks secure expansion beyond Solana across the multi-chain ecosystem and powers its institutional-grade yield products with accurate, high-speed market data."—Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs
