Compliance Layer Two

Definition

Compliance Layer Two refers to regulatory oversight mechanisms built on top of or alongside blockchain networks. This concept describes supplementary protocols or systems that operate off the main blockchain, or “layer one,” to facilitate adherence to legal and regulatory standards without compromising the core network’s decentralization or scalability. These layers can handle functions such as identity verification, transaction monitoring for illicit activities, and reporting, then settling aggregated or verified information on the primary chain. They provide a structured approach to meet jurisdictional requirements in a digital asset context.
