Several popular memecoins were added to a number of Chainlink services over the weekend, allowing them to be offered on other networks or as data streaming services.
In the past few days, Shiba Inu (SHIB) and its ecosystem tokens, Turbo (TURBO) and Apu (APU), adopted the Chainlink Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard to become available across 12 blockchains, making them accessible on networks other than where they were originally issued.

On Sunday, tokens Simon’s Cat (CAT), Coq Inu (COQ), goat (GOAT), Hamster Kombat’s HMSTR and mog coin (MOG) joined a list of assets on Chainlink’s decentralized data streams.
These streams use an oracle model where market data is continuously available off-chain. Such data can be accessed and then cryptographically verified on-chain when needed.
CCTs are cross-chain assets offered and protected by Chainlink’s security. A lock-and-mint mechanism enables token transfers from Ethereum to other chains, while the burn-and-mint mechanism facilitates cross-chain transfers across all other networks.

Chainlink’s LINK tokens rose Monday, beating a 2% drop in bitcoin (BTC) in the past 24 hours.
