Compliance — Policies & enforcement

How rules are defined, evaluated, and enforced on-chain

View as Markdown

A policy is a set of rules an issuer defines once and the asset enforces on every transfer.

Policy model

  • Eligibility rules — who may hold (verified, jurisdiction, accreditation)
  • Transfer rules — lock-ups, windows, allow/deny lists, caps
  • Enforcement — evaluated atomically at transfer time; deterministic outcome

Outcomes
