Infosys, the $40 billion-plus IT services company, has entered a strategic partnership with Chainlink to standardize the oracle network’s platform across its institutional client base, the companies announced on September 22. Infosys says its financial-services technology supports banking and payments infrastructure for more than 1.7 billion customer accounts worldwide, giving Chainlink access to a broad traditional-finance distribution channel. The agreement is designed around a repeatable route into onchain markets for banks and capital-markets firms rather than isolated product deployments. It covers six elements: the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), which transfers data and tokenized assets between blockchains; the Chainlink Runtime Environment, which coordinates onchain and offchain workflows; the Automated Compliance Engine for policy controls; Proof of Reserve for checking assets backing stablecoins and tokenized products; and Data Streams and Data Feeds for low-latency and reference market data. Infosys will combine consulting, engineering and systems-integration services with the Chainlink stack to develop solutions for tokenized assets, payments and settlement, and interoperable financial-market infrastructure. Chainlink said the arrangement could accelerate institutional onchain finance, while Infosys’s Finacle banking platform provides much of the intended reach. Chainlink’s existing users include Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International and UBS, and the company says its infrastructure has supported tens of trillions of dollars in transaction value. The partnership follows earlier institutional activity, including the Wyoming Stable Token Commission’s use of Chainlink Proof of Reserve for its Frontier stable token and migration of the token to Chainlink CCIP. No specific bank, payment provider or production deployment was named, and the companies disclosed neither commercial terms nor a timeline. The announcement therefore establishes a technology channel rather than a confirmed rollout, with adoption through Infosys expected to take time to emerge.
