Legal Compliance Layer

Definition

A legal compliance layer refers to the rules and systems ensuring adherence to laws. In the context of blockchain and digital assets, this describes the architectural components or protocols designed to ensure that transactions and operations conform to relevant legal and regulatory requirements. This layer often includes mechanisms for identity verification, anti-money laundering checks, and sanctions screening. Its purpose is to bridge the gap between the pseudonymous nature of blockchain and the demands of traditional legal systems, facilitating regulated adoption.
