Moody’s Taps Chainlink to Send Credit Ratings Across Multiple Blockchains
Moody’s Ratings and Chainlink have completed a pilot showing that credit ratings can be distributed across several blockchains through a single interoperable system. It matters because tokenised bonds, funds and other assets may trade on different networks, while investors will expect ratings and updates to be available wherever those assets are held.
The test used Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol and Moody’s Token Integration Engine to send representative ratings data to permissioned and permissionless networks while retaining Moody’s publication and governance processes. Moody’s has rated or assessed more than 70 digital issuances from January 2017 to October 2026, and has already extended its TIE system from Canton to Solana. The pilot ran on a testnet: it involved no live ratings or actual rating actions, so it demonstrates technical capability rather than a launched service.
In short
- Moody’s and Chainlink tested sending credit ratings across multiple blockchains.
- The pilot used test data and did not publish live ratings.
- The work addresses demand for ratings on tokenised assets across networks.
