Moody’s and Chainlink Complete Credit Data Pilot

Moody’s Ratings and Chainlink said they have completed a testnet pilot to distribute credit-rating data across multiple blockchain networks using Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, or CCIP. The companies described the work as a technical demonstration, not a commercial launch.

The pilot tested whether Moody’s Token Integration Engine could send ratings across blockchain networks through CCIP. According to the companies, the system demonstrated distribution across permissioned and permissionless networks while retaining Moody’s existing publication and governance procedures. The test took place on a testnet, an environment used to trial technology rather than run a production service.

Moody’s and Chainlink said the effort addresses a need for credit information to be available as financial assets are issued and distributed on blockchain systems. Tokenized bonds and other financial products can operate across different networks, and the pilot explored how ratings could be delivered across them. The companies said the model is designed to accommodate future rating updates under appropriate governance and lifecycle controls.
