Vayana Chainlink Partnership Powers India’s RWA Push
India's trade finance giant just made a major blockchain move — and it directly strengthens the case for real-world asset tokenization on a national scale.
Vayana, India's most trusted trade credit infrastructure with over $62 billion in financing facilitated, has officially adopted Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infra to power tokenized asset issuance, distribution, and settlement across India.
The announcement was confirmed on May 18, 2026, via official X accounts and official websites.

It is not a startup. It is a decade-old institution deeply embedded in India's financial ecosystem:
$62B+ in financing facilitated
3,000+ supply chains connected
400,000+ MSMEs engaged
1,500 corporates covered across 600+ cities in India
11 billion+ GSP API calls processed
When a platform of this scale adopts blockchain infrastructure, it is not an experiment — it is a strategic infrastructure decision that signals where institutional finance in India is heading.
Vayana is starting with the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) and the Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) — it is a modular on-chain compliance standard.
Issue and distribute compliant tokenized real world assets to regulated financial institutions in India
Enforce KYC, AML/CFT, sanctions screening, and travel-rule policies directly on-chain — in real time
Enable real-time collateral mobility and improved liquidity in trade receivables and supply chain finance
Settle tokenized assets across both public and private blockchains — with institutional-grade security
In simple terms: compliance moves with the asset, automatically, across every counterparty and blockchain. No manual checks. No bespoke controls built for each chain.
This is the Chainlink adoption that bridges traditional Indian finance and programmable blockchain infrastructure at an institutional scale.
Ram Iyer, Founder & CEO, Vayana: "The partnership provides the highest levels of security and reliability while delivering the compliance capabilities needed for the project to enable the distribution of compliant tokenized assets in India at scale."
Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer, ChainlinkLabs: "With deep reach throughout India's financial ecosystem, it is well positioned to bring compliant, institutional-grade tokenized assets to market at scale, leveraging Chainlink."
India is actively developing regulated digital infrastructure for tokenized assets and the partnership puts both companies at the centre of that initiative.
This is a major Chainlink news milestone — its compliance infrastructure is now the backbone of one of India's largest trade finance networks. For the broader ecosystem, it confirms that real-world institutional adoption of oracle and compliance infra is accelerating well beyond DeFi.
For India's MSMEs, corporates, and financial institutions — Vayana is building the bridge between how they operate today and where India's financial system is going: onchain, compliant, and programmable.
