@Go_Karsa @BobbyThakkar sounds like you've cracked the code ;)

[Woods @dbwoods11]

@AlekPerak @BobbyThakkar from your POV is it a regulation requirement problem, a software problem, or something else?

[Woods @dbwoods11]

@hazani94 @0xshei @defyneric hey @hazani94 - anything persona could do better here?

[Woods @dbwoods11]

@StevenFgr @defyneric do you have a favourite orchestrator @StevenFgr ?

Onboarding is where many payment products break. More rails, geographies, and real-time payments = more risk + complexity.

We’re partnering with Persona to keep onboarding, compliance, and money movement in sync - globally, via a single API.

@AriEiberman would love to test it out!

[Woods @dbwoods11]

@AriEiberman Full disclosure that I work for Persona, but still, I don't think Sumsub charges that much.

[Woods @dbwoods11]

@AriEiberman KYC of $3 / user seems high IMO.

I believe there’s so much unnecessary confusion, frustration, and debate around age verification because we're treating two very different problems as one:

1/ Stopping kids from seeing inappropriate content
2/ Stopping adults from pretending to be kids

I get why these are discussed together. Too much of (2) increases the risk of (1). But not all platforms face both challenges and certainly not at the same level, and treating them as the same problem leads to the wrong solutions and the wrong tradeoffs.

I’m not a policy maker, but from our work at Persona, I’ve seen that the challenges, risks, and solutions for each of these problems are wildly different.

Keeping kids from inappropriate content is a household-level problem. I don’t want to downplay the risks of social media or exposure to adult content. However, sacrificing broad privacy to solve what is fundamentally a parental controls problem doesn’t feel like a great bargain.

Stopping adults from impersonating kids is a platform-level problem. It jeopardizes the safety and integrity of the community and at its core, it's fraud where adults have far more resources than kids. Unfortunately, the challenge is that more effective solutions tend to compromise more privacy. The best approaches evaluate how much of a tradeoff is worthwhile given the risks.

When the risks of a technology don’t match the benefits of the problem it solves, public concern is justified. Applying fraud prevention techniques to what should be a parental controls problem is overreach. And a half-baked solution to adult impersonation is possibly worse. It’s security theatre where privacy is sacrificed but minimal assurance is gained.

The more I work on this and the more I hear from all of you, the more I believe that if some privacy must be lost, some privacy should be gained elsewhere in return. The right framework is one that splits knowledge to prevent abuse.

No single organization should know both:
1/ who you are
2/ what you are doing

If Persona has to know who you are, we should make sure we don’t know what you’re doing or what app you’re using. And if a platform knows what you’re doing, they shouldn’t know who you are.

This is not where the world is at today, and this framework is by no means perfect. But I think it’s better, and I’d love your feedback as we build it.

[Chainlink @chainlink]

Today we’re launching the Chainlink Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) partner ecosystem, featuring 20+ leading compliance providers, frameworks, & regulators powering the next generation of onchain compliance ↓

The Chainlink ACE partner ecosystem is a network of trusted vendors whose solutions are now natively compatible with ACE.

These partners recognize ACE as the standard for onchain compliance and are integrating their data & services directly into ACE to unlock complete compliance, monitoring, & reporting solutions.

At launch, the Chainlink ACE partner ecosystem includes:

IDENTITY PROVIDERS

• GLEIF—Brings trusted global identity standards to ACE users.
• World—Connects its decentralized World ID to ACE users, allowing World’s proof-of-human protocol to be composed anonymously with data from other ACE partners.
• SumSub—Enables reusable digital identity for users to leverage within ACE through SumSub’s KYC/KYB.
• Persona—Allows ACE users to leverage reusable digital identity via Persona’s KYC/KYB verification.
• Proof—Provides cryptographically secure, verified digital identities for ACE users—both individuals & organizations—to sign and protect their transactions.
• Veridian by the Cardano Foundation—Enables ACE users to issue GLEIF’s vLEI-based credentials offchain, which are then delivered onchain in the form of CCIDs.

RISK SCORING PLATFORMS

• Chainalysis—Streams wallet and transaction risk scores directly into ACE policies for institutional-grade AML controls.
• TRM Labs—Provides real-time risk intelligence to ACE, enabling issuers and protocols to block sanctioned or high-risk activity.
• Hypernative—Provides real-time risk intelligence to ACE, enabling issuers and protocols to block high-risk activity.
• CipherOwl—Delivers risk scores into ACE to power agile, customizable compliance rules.
• Llamarisk—Audits ACE-enabled tokens to provide independent risk scores and assessments.

MONITORING & REPORTING

• Bluprynt—Designs, runs, and manages compliance policies directly on ACE for institutions, while also fulfilling regulatory reporting obligations via automated disclosures and regular or on-demand compliance reports.
• Hacken—Builds real-time security monitoring and alerting on top of ACE to detect threats and abnormal behavior.
• Kaiko—Delivers market data and analytics leveraging ACE transaction data logs.
• Hummingbird—Offers a case management and automated SAR reporting solution on top of ACE.

TOKENIZATION PLATFORMS

• Apex Group—Enforces end-to-end compliance across its tokenization infrastructure.
• Chintai—Uses ACE to define investor and transaction eligibility requirements for Chintai assets in public blockchain environments.

BLOCKCHAINS & LAYER-2 NETWORKS

• Ethereum for Institutions—Co-designs and drives institutional adoption of ACE.
• Linea—Establishes ACE as the standard for compliance in the Linea ecosystem.
• Taiko—Leverages ACE for tokenization use cases within the Taiko ecosystem.

INDUSTRY FRAMEWORKS

• ERC-3643—Unlocks compatibility with the ERC-3643 token standard with ACE’s offchain policy.
• ERC-7943—Co-authored by Build member Brickken, the ERC-7943 token standard uses ACE to power compliance and interoperability.
• Digital Securities Initiative (DSI)—Recognizes ACE as a trusted compliance standard, and is collaborating with Chainlink Labs to make ACE compatible with DSI's regulatory frameworks.

The Chainlink ACE partner ecosystem establishes ACE as the industry standard for onchain compliance, uniting identity, risk, and regulatory infrastructure into the most complete, modular, and enterprise-grade compliance network for digital assets.
