Moody’s Taps Chainlink to Send Credit Ratings Across Multiple Blockchains

In brief

• Chainlink and Moody’s Ratings completed a pilot using Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol to distribute credit ratings simultaneously across multiple blockchains via Moody’s Token Integration Engine.
• The aim is to make trusted credit intelligence travel with tokenized assets wherever they live.
• The test ran on a testnet with representative data—no live ratings were published onchain—so it’s a proof of concept rather than a launched product.

Chainlink and Moody’s Ratings have completed a pilot showing how credit ratings could be beamed across multiple blockchains at once, another sign that the traditional machinery of finance is steadily moving onchain.

Announced Tuesday, the test used Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, or CCIP, to distribute Moody’s ratings simultaneously across both permissioned and permissionless blockchain networks.

It ran through the Moody’s Ratings Token Integration Engine, or TIE, the system the 125-year-old ratings giant built to disseminate credit assessments and related data within blockchain environments. The pilot, the companies said, preserved Moody’s existing publication and governance processes while proving the ratings could travel across chains through a single interoperable layer.
