Chainlink and Chainalysis Partner to Advance Cross-Chain Compliance Automation

Quick Breakdown 

• Chainlink and Chainalysis form a strategic partnership to advance on-chain compliance.
• Integration combines Chainalysis KYT risk intelligence with Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine (ACE).
• Institutions can automate policy enforcement across chains, reducing manual checks and ensuring audit-ready compliance.

Chainlink and Chainalysis have announced a strategic partnership aimed at integrating real-time blockchain risk intelligence with automated, cross-chain compliance workflows. The collaboration will combine Chainalysis’ Know Your Transaction (KYT) system with Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), allowing institutions to enforce policy-based controls across multiple blockchains without manual intervention.

The integration, set to go live in Q2 2026, will enable issuers, exchanges, and regulated institutions to automate conditions around asset transfers, minting, redemptions, and withdrawals all based on KYT alerts. The goal is to create a unified compliance standard that eliminates fragmented, chain-specific monitoring systems.

Automating compliance through chainlink ACE

Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), built on the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), allows institutions to define and execute policies across both public and private blockchains. Using ACE, organizations can convert compliance rules into programmable code applying functions such as allowlists, transaction limits, and access controls with deterministic outcomes.

The framework also supports reusable, privacy-preserving identity credentials through the Cross-Chain Identity (CCID) system, compatible with standards like LEI/vLEI, ONCHAINID, and DIDs. ACE’s monitoring and reporting tools deliver audit-ready logs, SOC integrations, and automated alerts, strengthening operational transparency and regulatory oversight.

Enhancing institutional trust and adoption

Chainalysis KYT monitors crypto transactions in real time, identifying suspicious activity and potential fraud across networks. By connecting KYT’s risk signals directly into Chainlink ACE, institutions can automate compliance enforcement ensuring faster and safer blockchain operations.

According to Chainalysis’ Strategic Growth Director Jordan Bregman, the partnership enables “risk intelligence to become actionable enforcement,” reducing manual reviews and supporting consistent cross-chain controls. Chainlink Labs’ Senior Product Manager Kostiantyn Dmitriiev added that the collaboration represents a “milestone for institutional-grade, transparent compliance infrastructure.”

Meanwhile, 0G, a modular AI-focused Layer 1 blockchain, has adopted Chainlink CCIP and Data Streams as its canonical cross-chain infrastructure, enabling secure token transfers, low-latency market data, and real-time AI-powered decentralized applications.
