Chainlink (LINK) network activity has reached its highest level in 8 months. This is a result of a massive shift of funds following LayerZero's security incident.
Cryptocurrency media outlet BeInCrypto reported on May 12 (local time) that Chainlink network activity has surged. According to on-chain data analysis firm Santiment, active addresses on May 9 reached 282,170. This is the highest figure since September 2025. Funds are flowing into security-verified protocols.
Major DeFi projects have migrated their infrastructure from LayerZero to Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). Recently, a $290 million security incident occurred involving a LayerZero-related bridge. KelpDAO and Solv Protocol have confirmed their adoption of Chainlink. The total assets under management for these projects exceed $2 billion.
Chainlink CCIP enhances security through independent verification nodes. A risk management network operates continuously. Chainlink Labs has received security certification from Deloitte & Touche LLP. There is a clear technical distinction from LayerZero, which has shown single-node configuration errors.
Adoption by traditional financial institutions is also accelerating. JP Morgan is exploring ways to integrate Chainlink technology into its asset trading systems. Chainlink acts as middleware, facilitating connections between financial systems. Technical reliability is a key factor behind institutional investment inflows.
Whale investors have accumulated an additional 32.93 million LINK over the past month. Chainlink's price has remained around the $10.6 mark. The combination of increased network activity and buying pressure is expanding its market dominance.
