The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) and Chainlink announced a strategic partnership to deliver an institutional-grade identity solution for the blockchain industry by combining GLEIF’s verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI) with Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Identity (CCID) and Automated Compliance Engine (ACE). The solution is designed to embed verifiable organisational identity directly into onchain wallets, smart contracts and tokenised assets. GLEIF and Chainlink framed the initiative as addressing a key obstacle to institutional adoption of digital assets: the lack of a trusted onchain identity layer. The combined capability is positioned to help institutions, stablecoin issuers and trading venues meet regulatory requirements, automate compliance and verify counterparties across jurisdictions while safeguarding user privacy.
