Global Layer One, a collaborative initiative led by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to develop a shared, open, and interoperable financial infrastructure based on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), is integrating Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine (ACE).
This supports the compliant issuance and management of tokenized assets across public and private blockchains, highlighting the growing emphasis on standardized, automated onchain compliance solutions amid increased institutional adoption of blockchain technology.
Global Layer One Enhances Modular Compliance Across Chains
Chainlink’s ACE is a customizable rules engine that embeds compliance policy enforcement directly within smart contracts. Financial institutions can use ACE’s Policy Manager to define eligibility, KYC/AML, jurisdictional, and volume limits for asset access. It also enforces them seamlessly onchain or off-chain.
The modular architecture allows Global Layer One to adopt only the components required to meet specific regulatory requirements and to rapidly adjust, upgrade, or scale as needed.
Reusable digital identities and credential mapping receive support through integration with standards like ERC-3643 and identity providers such as GLEIF. This supports institutional onboarding, streamlined audit trails, and enhanced reporting for regulators without storing personal identifying information directly on the chain.
Interoperability is a core benefit: compliance policies can be deployed and enforced across diverse asset types and blockchains. These include Layer One’s infrastructure and related ecosystems. Developers gain access to templates, SDKs, and a compliance sandbox designed to accelerate proof-of-concept rollout and real-time monitoring of deployed assets.
Automated Monitoring and Reporting
Proactive risk management and operational resilience are supported by automatic notifications for policy violations and transactional irregularities provided by the Monitoring and Reporting Manager in ACE. Configurable reporting standards, technological proof, and audit-ready logs all help to improve internal and regulatory compliance.
Institutions can halt or limit smart contracts, reject transactions, or initiate reviews immediately. This is in reaction to suspected non-compliance; policy enforcement is dynamic. Continuous generation of compliance proof produces credible audit trails that meet international licensing, governance, and regulatory requirements.
Global Layer One moves closer to a future of programmable, compliance-focused tokenised assets that can grow internationally and adjust to changing rules by collaborating with Chainlink. Chainlink ACE supports real-time, permissioned asset management on the blockchain and offers the capabilities necessary to address compliance concerns at the institutional and ecosystem levels.
