The winning solution illustrates how the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) and verifiable LEI (vLEI) can support automated compliance, real-time auditability, and trusted digital transactions. Clearstream was named runner-up for applying the vLEI as a secure login standard for its ClearstreamXact platform, positioning organisational digital identity as a means to streamline access and improve operational efficiency. The hackathon, hosted during Chainlink’s SmartCon in New York, centred on how vLEI-based identity and authority verification can be embedded into digital ecosystems to strengthen trust and transparency in financial infrastructure.
