Compliance Gateways

Compliance gateways are software interfaces that act as a checkpoint between a user and a decentralized protocol. They perform necessary legal checks, such as location verification or identity validation, before allowing the user to interact with the protocol's smart contracts.

If the user passes, the gateway provides a cryptographic token or signature that the protocol accepts as authorization. This enables decentralized platforms to restrict access based on jurisdiction or regulatory status.

It provides a flexible way to enforce compliance without centralizing the protocol itself. These gateways are essential for maintaining the legal standing of global financial platforms.
