Programmable Compliance

Definition

Programmable compliance refers to the integration of regulatory rules and requirements directly into the code of blockchain protocols or smart contracts. This allows for automated enforcement of regulations, such as know-your-customer (KYC) or anti-money laundering (AML) procedures, at the protocol level. It aims to ensure adherence to legal frameworks without compromising the inherent characteristics of distributed ledger technology. Such mechanisms facilitate the secure and lawful operation of digital asset ecosystems.
