Moody’s Credit Ratings Go Onchain on Solana for First Time

Moody’s Ratings has expanded its Token Integration Engine to Solana via Alphaledger, making credit ratings machine-readable onchain.

Moody’s Ratings has taken its Token Integration Engine (TIE) to Solana. 

The credit rating giant partnered with Alphaledger, a tokenization platform for institutional fixed income assets. 

Through this integration, credit ratings from one of the world’s three major rating agencies are now embedded and machine-readable on a public blockchain at scale. 

Issuers of fixed income securities tokenized on Alphaledger can now push Moody’s credit ratings directly onto the Solana blockchain. It marks the first time Moody’s ratings have gone live on a major public, permissionless blockchain.

Moody’s Token Integration Engine Expands to Solana

Moody’s announced the Solana deployment in an official release. The company noted that TIE is designed as a network-agnostic solution, built to work across different blockchain infrastructure. 

The Solana move follows TIE’s first-ever deployment on the Canton Network in March 2026. 

That was a permissioned institutional blockchain, making Moody’s the first credit rating agency to deliver ratings on an institutional-grade blockchain.

The Solana integration builds on a proof of concept completed on Solana’s devnet in June 2025. 

Rajeev Bamra, Executive Director and Head of Digital Economy Strategy at Moody’s Ratings, said investors need independent credit analysis wherever they transact. 

“Increasingly, that’s on-chain,” he added. Bamra noted that TIE is network-agnostic because credit risk is too.

Alphaledger Brings Institutional Credit Intelligence Onchain

Alphaledger CEO Manish Dutta described the integration as a step toward making tokenized debt genuinely institutional-grade. 

He said credit ratings have always been the language institutions use to price risk. However, that language previously stopped at the blockchain’s edge.

The Moody’s integration eliminates the need for any intermediary lookup. Dutta pointed to the municipal market as a key beneficiary of this development.

By embedding ratings at the asset level, credit information now travels with the asset on-chain. 

Market participants get a direct reference point for independent credit analysis inside the digital asset’s infrastructure itself. 

This structure gives on-chain markets the same trusted credit signal used in traditional fixed income, according to Alphaledger.

Solana Positioned as the Public Chain for Institutional RWA

The Solana Foundation’s Head of Institutional Growth, Nick Ducoff, said Solana is built to support institutional finance at scale. He also described Solana as the first public, permissionless blockchain that can integrate Moody’s credit ratings and make them machine-readable on-chain.

Ducoff said the Alphaledger integration makes tokenized real-world assets on Solana more transparent and accessible to investors globally.

Solana’s account on X described the platform as the leading public network for institutional RWA activity. 

The post said Moody’s ratings are now embedded and machine-readable on Solana through Alpha Ledger. 

Moody’s operates across more than 40 countries and plans to expand TIE coverage across additional digital finance networks, lines of business, and instrument types as adoption grows.
