Reference
The two kits, the concept pages, the tools, and the CCIP resources this guide links, collected in one place.
The two kits
On-chain contracts kit
Deploy and govern your verifier contracts: the CREATE2 factory, the resolver, the committee verifier, and the lane config.
Off-chain kit
The ccv-cell Helm chart that runs your verifier and aggregator, and its deployment runbook.
On-chain contracts kit
The kit is documented as a book: getting started, deploy, configure, governance, operations, and safe batches.
Every make target, its caller, and its mode are in the
command reference,
with the
config sync commands
alongside it. Both are generated from the Makefile and gated in CI, so they stay in step with the targets.
Off-chain kit
The ccv-cell Helm chart is documented in its
deployment runbook and
chart values reference.
It runs two Docker images, the verifier and the aggregator, published to the public Amazon ECR gallery
(verifier,
aggregator), where you can see the available
versions; the chart releases are on
GitHub. The chart sets a default image tag; override it in your chart values to run a specific version.
Concepts
- CCV overview: the entry point to the verification models, interface guarantees, and trust and responsibility model.
- CCIP architecture overview: how verifiers, aggregators, the indexer, and the executor fit together.
- Manual execution: executing a message yourself on the destination chain.
Tools
ccip-cli: send messages, self-execute, and check message status.- Policy hook OpenAPI spec: the request and response contract for a custom policy hook.
CCIP resources
- Network integration: RPC requirements and SLAs.
- CCIP directory: Router and lane addresses per chain.
