KYC & AML.

Identity, screening, and monitoring built into the sovereign rail — proportionate by design, auditable end to end, and enforced at the protocol rather than bolted on after the fact.

Built into the rail, not bolted on

In a sovereign currency, compliance can't be an external system that reconciles overnight. Identity, screening, and monitoring are enforced where value moves — so a non-compliant transaction is refused, not flagged after it settles.

01

Enforced at the protocol

Eligibility, limits, and screening are checked before a transfer settles — controls the ledger applies, not a downstream report.

02

Proportionate by design

Obligations scale with risk: a low-value citizen wallet and a correspondent-bank account carry different identity and monitoring requirements.

03

Oversight without surveillance

Supervisors get provable, auditable oversight; citizens keep calibrated privacy. The two are balanced in the design, not traded off.

Identity & onboarding

Know who holds an account, to a depth that matches the risk they carry.

01

Tiered KYC

Graduated identity levels — from low-limit basic wallets to fully verified institutional accounts — each unlocking corresponding capability and limits.

02

Document & biometric verification

Identity-document authentication with liveness and biometric checks, calibrated to national ID infrastructure where it exists.

03

Delegated onboarding

Commercial banks and licensed providers can onboard to their own standards under the central bank's framework, with responsibility recorded on the ledger.

04

Re-verification & lifecycle

Periodic refresh, change-of-status handling, and revocation — identity is a lifecycle, not a one-time gate.

Screening

Every party checked against the lists that matter, before value moves.

01

Sanctions & watchlists

OFAC, UN, EU, and national lists screened at onboarding and on every relevant transfer.

02

PEP & adverse media

Politically-exposed-person and adverse-media checks with risk scoring.

03

Fuzzy & multilingual matching

Alias, transliteration, and fuzzy matching to catch evasion without drowning in false positives.

Transaction monitoring

Detect the patterns that individual transactions never reveal.

01

Rules & thresholds

Configurable rules for value, velocity, geography, and counterparty risk, enforced in real time.

02

Behavioural typologies

Detection for structuring, layering, smurfing, and mule-network patterns across accounts.

03

Risk scoring

Dynamic account and transaction risk scores that route the right activity to review.

04

Real-time & retrospective

Inline checks that can hold a transfer, plus retrospective analysis across the ledger's full history.

Case management & reporting

From alert to filed report, with the evidence trail intact.

01

Alerts & triage

Alerts consolidated into cases, deduplicated and prioritised by risk.

02

Investigation workspace

A full account and transaction graph for investigators, drawn from the tamper-evident ledger.

03

Regulatory reporting

SAR / STR generation and submission to the relevant financial-intelligence unit.

04

Provable audit trail

Every decision, override, and filing recorded immutably for supervisors and external audit.

Go deeper on auditability

Controls & governance

Who can do what — and the proof that the rules held.

01

Separation of roles

Cryptographic separation between operators, supervisors, and investigators; no single actor holds unchecked power.

02

Model governance

Screening and monitoring logic is versioned, tested, and auditable — changes are recorded, not silent.

03

Privacy proportionality

Data minimisation and calibrated disclosure so oversight never becomes blanket surveillance.

Compliant by construction.
