Today we’re launching the Chainlink Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) partner ecosystem, featuring 20 leading compliance providers, frameworks, & regulators powering the next generation of onchain compliance ↓ The Chainlink ACE partner ecosystem is a network of trusted vendors whose solutions are now natively compatible with ACE. These partners recognize ACE as the standard for onchain compliance and are integrating their data & services directly into ACE to unlock complete compliance, monitoring, & reporting solutions. At launch, the Chainlink ACE partner ecosystem includes: IDENTITY PROVIDERS • GLEIF—Brings trusted global identity standards to ACE users. • World—Connects its decentralized World ID to ACE users, allowing World’s proof-of-human protocol to be composed anonymously with data from other ACE partners. • SumSub—Enables reusable digital identity for users to leverage within ACE through SumSub’s KYC/KYB. • Persona—Allows ACE users to leverage reusable digital identity via Persona’s KYC/KYB verification. • Proof—Provides cryptographically secure, verified digital identities for ACE users—both individuals & organizations—to sign and protect their transactions. • Veridian by the Cardano Foundation—Enables ACE users to issue GLEIF’s vLEI-based credentials offchain, which are then delivered onchain in the form of CCIDs. RISK SCORING PLATFORMS • Chainalysis—Streams wallet and transaction risk scores directly into ACE policies for institutional-grade AML controls. • TRM Labs—Provides real-time risk intelligence to ACE, enabling issuers and protocols to block sanctioned or high-risk activity. • Hypernative—Provides real-time risk intelligence to ACE, enabling issuers and protocols to block high-risk activity. • CipherOwl—Delivers risk scores into ACE to power agile, customizable compliance rules. • Llamarisk—Audits ACE-enabled tokens to provide independent risk scores and assessments. MONITORING & REPORTING • Bluprynt—Designs, runs, and manages compliance policies directly on ACE for institutions, while also fulfilling regulatory reporting obligations via automated disclosures and regular or on-demand compliance reports. • Hacken—Builds real-time security monitoring and alerting on top of ACE to detect threats and abnormal behavior. • Kaiko—Delivers market data and analytics leveraging ACE transaction data logs. • Hummingbird—Offers a case management and automated SAR reporting solution on top of ACE. TOKENIZATION PLATFORMS • Apex Group—Enforces end-to-end compliance across its tokenization infrastructure. • Chintai—Uses ACE to define investor and transaction eligibility requirements for Chintai assets in public blockchain environments. BLOCKCHAINS & LAYER-2 NETWORKS • Ethereum for Institutions—Co-designs and drives institutional adoption of ACE. • Linea—Establishes ACE as the standard for compliance in the Linea ecosystem. • Taiko—Leverages ACE for tokenization use cases within the Taiko ecosystem. INDUSTRY FRAMEWORKS • ERC-3643—Unlocks compatibility with the ERC-3643 token standard with ACE’s offchain policy. • ERC-7943—Co-authored by Build member Brickken, the ERC-7943 token standard uses ACE to power compliance and interoperability. • Digital Securities Initiative (DSI)—Recognizes ACE as a trusted compliance standard, and is collaborating with Chainlink Labs to make ACE compatible with DSI's regulatory frameworks. The Chainlink ACE partner ecosystem establishes ACE as the industry standard for onchain compliance, uniting identity, risk, and regulatory infrastructure into the most complete, modular, and enterprise-grade compliance network for digital assets.
