Credit rating agency Moody’s Ratings has officially launched an innovative system designed to deliver its credit analysis data directly on-chain, integrating rating information into blockchain-driven financial infrastructure.
The system, named the “Token Integration Engine” (TIE), focuses on interconnecting Moody’s traditional rating data with various blockchain networks. Through TIE, authorized participants can conveniently access critical credit insights within blockchain-based financial workflows. This technology is specifically designed for institutional applications, ensuring that issuers can maintain control over participation while Moody’s retains oversight of its rating processes.
Currently, the system is being piloted on the Canton Network, a permissioned blockchain tailored for institutional finance. As part of this deployment, Moody’s is independently operating its nodes on the network and has indicated plans to expand the system to more blockchain networks and different types of assets in the future.
The design of the TIE system accommodates network neutrality, with access permissions managed by issuers according to Moody’s existing governance and compliance framework.
Moody’s is a credit rating agency headquartered in the United States, established in 1909, with operations in over 40 countries worldwide. The company focuses on assessing credit risk for governments, corporations, and various financial instruments, with its rating reports widely adopted by investors in global capital markets.
The Rise of Canton Network
This deployment by Moody’s further confirms the growing prominence of Canton Network as an institutional-grade blockchain application infrastructure, particularly in the tokenized asset and collateral markets, where the network's application potential is continuously being unlocked.
