zenGate Global is going all-in on utilizing Chainlink’s decentralized oracle and tokenized RWA infrastructure to enhance our international blockchain-based platform for commodities and trade finance. The solution will leverage Chainlink’s technology in concert with Ergo and Cardano blockchains, to amplify zenGate’s tokenization and traceability solution: Winter Protocol.

By integrating Chainlink Functions and Proof of Reserve (PoR), we will be able to bring IoT data on chain to provide on chain traceability for the supply chain process and publish accurate and reliable asset reserves data, ushering in a new era of transparency for collateral management and trade finance.

Since Winter Protocol is open-source, this innovative approach will also allow for other projects building on Cardano and Ergo to utilize Chainlink’s technology.

zenGate Global is enhancing its Palmyra Platform to address a $2.5 trillion (USD) gap in commodities trade access and trade finance. With the Palmyra Platform live in Sri Lanka, Nepal, India, Indonesia, and East Africa, we’re positioned to have a real-world impact on emerging markets. Ultimately, we aim to ensure producers, businesses, and users from these regions have access to world-class technologies.

Benefits of the Integration of Chainlink’s Tokenized RWA Infrastructure

By integrating PoR and Functions, zenGate is able to further its tokenized real-world asset initiatives by:

  • Accelerating time-to-market by leveraging Chainlink’s scalable infrastructure when expanding its platform across any blockchain.
  • Building on Chainlink’s battle-tested infrastructure, which provides a track record of reliability and is trusted by the world’s largest financial institutions.
  • Extensive connectivity, connecting smart contracts to any data source, ranging from public or password-protected APIs to IoT devices and enterprise systems.

Daniel Friedman, CEO of zenGate Global, stated, “The Chainlink platform is enabling zenGate to push the boundaries of blockchain utility, leveraging Chainlink’s tokenization infrastructure to tackle complex challenges in the commodities sector and trade finance.”

This initiative is expected to serve as a model for future cross-chain projects aiming to integrate blockchain technology with real world assets (RWA) and practical financial applications.
