Starting with the Chainlink compliance standard, Vayana is leveraging the Chainlink platform to build institutional tokenized asset solutions and strengthen India’s initiative in this space.

Vayana, India’s most trusted trade credit infrastructure with $62+ billion in financing facilitated, has adopted Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, as its exclusive oracle infrastructure to accelerate institutional tokenized asset issuance, distribution, and settlement across India. 

Connecting enterprises across supply chains, Vayana’s adoption of Chainlink is set to strengthen India’s initiative in institutional tokenized assets and establish it as a leading market for regulated institutional tokenized assets. Starting with the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), Vayana is leveraging Chainlink’s industry-standard infrastructure to enable regulated financial institutions in India to issue, manage, and settle compliant tokenized assets with confidence.

Why Vayana Adopted Chainlink

Vayana brings over a decade of experience working with banks, financial institutions, corporates, and MSMEs for trade finance and supply chain finance. Vayana is the preferred partner in supply chain finance, offering a range of Trade Credit and Trade Enablement solutions across all tiers of supply chains.

With Chainlink, Vayana is solving a core institutional challenge i.e. enabling trusted data, identity, and compliance to move with assets across systems, counterparties, and blockchains.

For financial institutions, compliance is not an optional infrastructure. It is the gating function for adoption. Built on the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), Chainlink Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) is a unified and modular standard for on-chain compliance and identity. ACE brings together identity registries, policy engines, and reporting tools so institutions can enforce KYC/KYB, AML/CFT, sanctions, jurisdictional gating, and travel-rule policies directly in digital asset workflows across public and private blockchains. Instead of building bespoke controls for each chain or relying solely on manual checks, ACE lets institutions extend their existing compliance infrastructure onchain, with policies enforced and monitored in real time. Leveraging ACE, Vayana brings tokenized assets in line with how regulated financial institutions in India are required to operate.

Strengthening India’s Initiative in Tokenization

Representing real-world financial assets as programmable digital tokens helps unlock liquidity, reduce settlement friction, and bring transparency to financial markets. In practice, this enables real-time collateral mobility, improved liquidity in trade receivables & supply chain finance, and a more efficient capital allocation across financial institutions.

In India, the immediate opportunity is development of regulated digital infrastructure that supports issuance, movement, and management of tokenized assets in a way that aligns with institutional requirements and regulatory oversight.

“Adopting Chainlink as our exclusive oracle infrastructure is a strategic choice for Vayana. Chainlink provides the highest levels of security and reliability while delivering the compliance capabilities needed for Vayana to enable the distribution of compliant tokenized assets in India at scale. With regulatory support, the future of India’s financial system will increasingly be onchain, and we are glad to partner with Chainlink to power the same.” — Ram Iyer, Founder & CEO – Vayana

“We’re excited to see Vayana adopt Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infrastructure to power tokenized asset distribution across hundreds of thousands of enterprises. With deep reach throughout India’s financial ecosystem, Vayana is well positioned to bring compliant, institutional-grade tokenized assets to market at scale leveraging Chainlink.” — Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer, Chainlink Labs

What Chainlink Adoption Enables

For India’s financial ecosystem, Chainlink capabilities are mission-critical because the assets most relevant to tokenization (trade receivables, supply chain instruments, structured credit) sit within complex webs of institutional relationships and regulatory obligations. The infrastructure has to work within those realities, not around them. Vayana leverages Chainlink as the only oracle platform since it meets all the institutional requirements within a single unified platform:

  • Trusted, high-quality financial data embedded directly into tokenized asset lifecycles
  • Programmable compliance and identity enforced at the transaction level
  • Interoperability across blockchains and existing financial systems, removing fragmentation risk

Building The Gold Standard for Tokenized Assets in India with Chainlink

Over the coming months, Vayana and Chainlink will continue to work with financial institutions, regulators, and ecosystem partners to launch production-grade, regulated tokenized asset workflows with financial institutions and establish India as a global leader in digital assets.
