The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) and Chainlink have formed a strategic partnership to deliver an institutional-grade identity solution for the blockchain industry, combining GLEIF’s verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI) with Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Identity (CCID) and Automated Compliance Engine (ACE). The joint solution is designed to embed verifiable organisational identity directly into onchain wallets, smart contracts, and tokenized assets. The integration is positioned to address the absence of trusted onchain identity as a barrier to institutional digital asset adoption, enabling institutions, stablecoin issuers, and trading venues to meet regulatory requirements, automate compliance processes, and verify counterparties across jurisdictions while safeguarding user privacy.
