Moody's Uses Chainlink to Distribute Credit Ratings Across Blockchains

Chainlink and Moody's Ratings completed a pilot demonstrating the distribution of credit ratings across multiple blockchains using Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). Announced on Tuesday, the test utilized Moody's Ratings Token Integration Engine (TIE) to disseminate ratings simultaneously on both permissioned and permissionless networks. The pilot maintained Moody's existing publication and governance processes while proving that ratings could traverse chains through a single interoperable layer. As more financial assets are tokenized on blockchains, investors expect credit intelligence to be accessible across networks. Moody's has rated over 70 digital issuances, including digital bonds and tokenized funds, from January 2017 to October 2026. Johann Eid, chief business officer at Chainlink Labs, emphasized the need for credit intelligence to move with financial assets onchain. Fabian Astic, Moody's global head of digital economy, noted that the future of tokenized finance will not be confined to a single blockchain. Earlier this year, Moody's launched TIE on the Canton Network and extended it to Solana, making its ratings machine-readable on a public blockchain. Chainlink's CCIP serves as a connection for institutional tokenization, reporting significant cross-chain value secured. The pilot operated on a testnet with representative data, showcasing technical capability rather than a live product, but is designed for future rating updates under proper governance.
