The CCIP v1.6 upgrade is officially live on mainnet—bringing support for @Solana as the first non-EVM chain on CCIP. The new release introduces the following key benefits for developers and users: • Access to non-EVM chains: Solana is live today, with many more non-EVM chains to come • Faster chain expansion: New streamlined architecture accelerates the rate of new EVM & non-EVM chain integrations • Lower fees: Multi-chain message batching reduces user gas costs, especially as cross-chain volume scales With v1.6, apps and tokens that use CCIP will benefit from seamless connectivity to more chains than ever before without disrupting existing integrations.
