Example Cross-chain dApps

Several example dApps and tools are available to help you learn about use cases for CCIP.

CCIP Direct Staking

CCIP Direct Staking enables users to stake native tokens on supported L2 networks and receive liquid staked tokens (LSTs, e.g., wstETH) directly on the same chain. Supports both instant (fast) and delayed (slow) staking options.

Learn more about the architecture and workflow in the technical blog post.

For third-party integrators who want to build offchain components to interact with CCIP Direct Staking contracts, see the Direct Staking integration guide with reference implementations and utilities. The guide includes a hands-on tutorial using Lido on Base Mainnet.
