Persona has partnered with Chainlink, an oracle platform, to facilitate compliant on-chain identity through the Chainlink Automated Compliance Engine (ACE). This collaboration aims to streamline identity verification processes for institutions engaging with tokenized assets across various blockchain ecosystems.

Institutions currently face challenges with fragmented identity verification processes on-chain, leading to duplicated Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, inconsistent compliance records, and increased regulatory exposure.
