Release Notes

2026-05-01 — Initial release

Chainlink CRE Connect is now available as a private beta.

Capabilities

• Verifiable on-chain events — subscribe to contract events on supported networks; every event is signed by the Chainlink DON and is verifiable end-to-end against the on-chain DON signer set.
• Gas-less, account-abstracted operations — sign one EIP-712 payload; CRE Connect executes one or more EVM transactions atomically through your Smart Account, with no gas, nonce, or relayer management on your side.
• Extensions — protocol-specific modules layered on top of the core product. Available at launch: DTA.

Signer integrations

CRE Connect supports common key-management options at launch, including local ECDSA keys, AWS KMS, HashiCorp Vault, Fireblocks, Privy, and a custom signer extensibility point.

Access

Access is permissioned. See Get Access for the onboarding flow.
