Moody’s Puts Credit Ratings on Solana for the First Time via Alphaledger
Moody’s Ratings has deployed its Token Integration Engine (TIE) on the Solana blockchain through a partnership with Alphaledger, a tokenization platform for institutional fixed-income assets. The move makes credit ratings from one of the world’s three major rating agencies machine-readable on a public permissionless blockchain at scale for the first time.
From Permissioned to Public Blockchain
Moody’s announced the Solana deployment in an official release on June 17, 2026, noting that TIE is designed as a network-agnostic solution. The Solana integration follows TIE’s first deployment on the Canton Network in March 2026, which was a permissioned institutional blockchain. That earlier move made Moody’s the first credit rating agency to deliver ratings on an institutional-grade blockchain.

The Solana rollout builds on a proof of concept completed on Solana’s devnet in June 2025, according to the company.
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, but 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. 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, giving on-chain markets the same trusted credit signal used in traditional fixed income.
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 and described it 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 official account on X described the platform as the leading public network for institutional RWA activity, stating that 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.
