A conditional safe harbor is a legal provision that offers protection from liability under specific circumstances. In financial regulation, particularly concerning digital assets, it provides a temporary exemption from certain securities laws for projects that meet predefined criteria, often related to decentralization and disclosure. This mechanism aims to allow new technologies to develop without immediate stringent regulatory burdens, provided they work towards compliance. It represents a regulatory attempt to balance innovation with investor protection.
Context

A key debate involves the specific conditions and duration of such exemptions, and whether they adequately support decentralized networks. Future regulatory frameworks may incorporate such provisions to better accommodate the unique characteristics of digital assets.
