- Chainlink, Plexos Institute, and EDinheiro have partnered to introduce blockchain-based social currencies aimed at expanding financial access in Brazil.
- These digital currencies, issued by local municipal community banks, are designed to stimulate local production and consumption and enhance financial inclusion.
Chainlink, in collaboration with Plexos Institute and EDinheiro, has initiated a program to democratize financial access for underserved communities within Brazil through the deployment of blockchain-based social currencies. This endeavor seeks to integrate populations historically excluded from traditional financial systems.
Issued locally by Brazilian municipal community banks, these social currencies leverage tokenization principles. This approach is intended to foster local production, stimulate consumption, and cultivate greater financial inclusion for the identified underserved populations.

Chainlink Runtime Environment Facilitates Verifiable Operations
The Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) serves a critical function by providing the necessary connectivity layer between off-chain data sources and on-chain blockchain operations.
This integration enables the automation of verifiable processes essential for community reporting, usage audits, and adherence to Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) data protection laws. The CRE’s role is pivotal in ensuring transparency and compliance within the decentralized framework of these social currencies.
Project Launch in Indiaroba Sets Replicable Model
The initial deployment of this project is scheduled for the city of Indiaroba, located in Sergipe, where the Aratu social currency will be introduced. This phased launch strategy aims to establish a robust and replicable operational model.
The successful implementation and subsequent analysis in Indiaroba are intended to provide a blueprint for similar initiatives to be rolled out across various other regions throughout Brazil, thereby scaling the impact of blockchain-enabled financial inclusion.
At the time of this press, Chainlink (LINK) is trading at $17.38, down $0.56000 (-0.03122%) over the last 24 hours, with a 24‑hour range between $17.25 and $17.96.
