Chainlink CCIP consists of 16 independent node operators that observe, validate, and reach consensus on all cross-chain activity And CCIP’s architecture can include additional networks and layers of verification, as Sergey explains “The whole point of the Chainlink system is not for us to tell you how to build a Chainlink Oracle network; it’s for the system to allow you to add whatever nodes you want. “You can naturally yourself scale up the amount of nodes that you want” “Then you can modify even how multiple networks work with each other. For example, you can actually add a fourth network to the CCIP process. You could say, "I don't want to accept a Proof of Reserves-backed token unless I verify that the Proof of Reserves' proof about that token is valid” “So now, you have the three core CCIP networks, but then you can have a fourth Proof of Reserves network that's proving something to the Risk Management network”
