Moody's pilots cross-chain credit rating distribution using Chainlink CCIP
The testnet pilot used Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to distribute Moody’s credit ratings simultaneously on permissioned and permissionless blockchains while preserving the firm’s existing publication and governance processes. The pilot ran through Moody’s Ratings Token Integration Engine (TIE) on a testnet with representative data, with no live rating actions published on‑chain. Moody’s has rated or assessed more than 70 digital issuances between January 2017 and October 2026. Both companies said the proof‑of‑concept shows ratings can travel across chains via a single interoperable layer and could support future updates under appropriate governance. Chainlink reports tens of billions of dollars in cross‑chain value secured as institutions experiment with tokenization.
