Connecting Smart Contracts With SWIFT
summary
Claim: SWIFT’s existing ISO 20022 messaging and PKI + HSM can be extended into smart contracts via Chainlink oracles, letting the network’s 12,000 member banks sign and route on‑chain commands to many blockchains. Demonstrations date to 2017 (POC mapping ISO messages to contract calls), tooling includes multi‑sig, HSMs, and Chainlink Decentralized Oracle Networks, and regulators (e.g., SEC approval of an ETH‑based fund) signal real adoption potential that could scale institutional on‑chain value from billions toward trillions.
