In an article published on November 10, 2026, ChainCatcher, citing Decrypt, reported that Chainlink and Moody’s Ratings had completed a pilot on distributing credit ratings to multiple blockchains at the same time. The report said the test was announced on a Tuesday. It used Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to send Moody’s ratings to permissioned networks and permissionless networks together.
The route described in the pilot keeps Moody’s existing publication and governance process in place. Rating data then passes through Moody’s Ratings token integration engine (TIE), which the report says the 125-year-old agency built to carry credit assessments and related data into blockchain environments. From TIE, CCIP acts as the single interoperability layer that transmits the ratings across chains. Chainlink and Moody’s said this showed ratings could move cross-chain without replacing Moody’s release and governance steps.
What the pilot carried was credit-rating information. It ran entirely on testnets, used representative test data, and did not publish any actual rating action on-chain. The report presents the work as a proof of concept, not a live product.
Before the pilot, Moody’s had already deployed TIE on the institutional-grade Canton Network and later extended it to Solana. From January 2017 through October 2026, Moody’s rated or assessed more than 70 digital issuances, including digital bonds and tokenized funds.
Johann Eid, chief business officer of Chainlink Labs, said that as more financial assets come on-chain, credit intelligence must move cross-chain with them and through every rating change. Fabian Astic, global head of digital economy at Moody’s, said the future of tokenized finance is unlikely to exist on only one blockchain, platform, or market infrastructure.
The trust boundary in the reported design stays with Moody’s for producing and governing the rating. CCIP is the transport used to fan the same information out to more than one chain. The pilot does not establish a production rating feed, and it does not show that cross-chain delivery replaces Moody’s publication process.
