Compliance Ready
"As an institution, I can prove clean funds to auditors without exposing my entire transaction history to the public."
Privacy by default. Compliance by choice.
Overview
Compliance Ready is a pro-institutional framework that solves the "Privacy vs. Compliance" dilemma. It allows organizations to operate with full privacy by default while retaining the ability to cryptographically prove compliance to auditors and regulators when required.
What It Solves
The Glass House Problem: Full transparency prevents institutional adoption because it exposes trade secrets and proprietary positions.
Regulatory Blocking: Privacy tools are often banned by regulators due to lack of oversight.
Audit Friction: Traditional audits are slow and expensive; on-chain compliance needs to be efficient.
How It Works
✅ Privacy by Default: Normal operations are completely shielded from public view.
✅ Selective Disclosure: Institutions can generate ZK proofs that reveal specific data (e.g., "I am not on a sanctions list") without revealing all data (e.g., "I own $50M").
✅ Automated Reporting: Compliance proofs can be attached to transactions automatically based on value thresholds.
Three Modes of Operation
Normal Transactions — Fully private, no disclosure needed
Threshold-Triggered — Large amounts attach compliance proofs automatically
Regulatory Inquiry — Selective disclosure on demand
