Issuing Blockchain-Based Credit Ratings

Untangled Finance and Moody’s Ratings Successfully Complete Proof of Concept for Issuing Blockchain-Based Credit Ratings

London, March 18, 2025 – Today, Untangled Finance announced the successful completion of a proof-of-concept exploring the integration of Moody’s Ratings credit rating information into Untangled Finance’s blockchain-based risk oracle infrastructure. This milestone demonstrated technological feasibility of disseminating credit rating data directly on-chain.

This exploration between Untangled Finance and Moody’s Ratings underscores the potential for decentralized technology to enhance traditional financial infrastructure, delivering greater transparency, efficiency, and security for the next evolution of digital finance.

“Moody’s Ratings successfully tested the transfer of credit rating data with Untangled Finance’s oracle technology to publish credit ratings on a public testnet blockchain,” said Rajeev Bamra, Associate Managing Director and Head of Strategy, Digital Economy at Moody’s Ratings. “This milestone is a critical component of our broader strategic vision to drive innovation and actively explore the potential of decentralized infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of digital financial markets.”

The joint initiative showcased Moody’s Ratings’ technological ability to integrate with Untangled Finance’s Credio, a risk oracle infrastructure, to securely issue, update and withdraw ratings to Polygon Amoy Testnet, a test version of the Polygon proof-of-stake blockchain. Credio’s zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology ensured that the credit rating data originated from a verified and trusted source.

Manrui Tang, Cofounder of Untangled Finance, said, “Our successful proof-of-concept demonstrated the secure dissemination of credit rating data on a public distributed ledger. We enableddecentralized programs to integrate verified risk data without compromising the handling of proprietary data. This was achieved through our oracle solution that ensures both real-time data visibility and data immutability, combined with zero-knowledge proof for privacy preservation.”
