7.4 KYC and Compliance Infrastructure

Asset Avenue takes compliance seriously and has integrated its onboarding with Scale Compliance, a Swiss-based KYC/AML specialist. Every member must pass rigorous identity verification before being allowed to interact with project tokens or participate in DAO activities.

The process includes:

• Identity document verification.

• Facial recognition checks.

• Politically exposed person (PEP) and sanctions screening.

• On-chain wallet whitelisting after approval.

By partnering with Scale Compliance, Asset Avenue ensures full alignment with Swiss and international regulatory standards while maintaining user privacy and efficiency. Importantly, sensitive KYC data remains off-chain and encrypted, while the wallet’s verification status is tied to its on-chain identity.

This system strikes the right balance between decentralized technology and regulatory compliance, giving institutional and retail investors confidence in the platform’s integrity.
