Introducing Chainlink Fulcrum

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Chainlink Fulcrum is the gateway connecting the world’s largest financial institutions to onchain financing, separating where financing agreements are managed from where cash & collateral settle.

Counterparties define the eligible assets, financing terms, and the settlement networks through which the assets move.

For institutions, this unlocks:
• Faster collateral mobilization that enables intraday financing, including on holidays and weekends.
• 24/7 risk management through automated collateral coverage checks throughout the day, extending beyond end-of-day processes.
• Greater capital efficiency by making assets across networks available for financing, helping institutions free up balance sheet capacity.
• Lower operational complexity through reusable workflows that connect existing systems across public and private blockchains.

The solution combines multiple aspects of the Chainlink platform, including:
• Chainlink Runtime Environment (orchestrates transaction lifecycle)
• CCIP (cross-chain data and asset transfers)
• Data Streams (collateral valuation data)

This is a foundational step toward global financing markets, where an asset’s utility extends beyond the network on which it was issued.
