Compliance / Platform guide
Compliance Engine
Understand where a token's transfer checks apply and where to review the eligibility requirements for your wallet.
Workflow
Hook attached
A share-class mint is initialized with its transfer hook.
Screen the transfer
The hook checks the transfer under the class's configured compliance mode.
Settle or reject
The transaction settles only if its required checks pass.
Details to check
When verification is required
Buying and trading tokens does not require identity verification. Verification (KYC) is required when you convert tokens into company shares or take delivery of a physical good. The platform can make a class KYC-gated, for example at the issuer's request; buying or receiving that class then requires an approved investor passport for the receiving wallet.
Before receiving units
Check the class's compliance mode and your investor passport in Portfolio. For a KYC-gated class, approval, expiry and jurisdiction affect the receiving wallet's eligibility.
Rules and restricted actions
The security and compliance reference explains transfer modes, issuance checks, escrow exits, the blocklist and the permanent delegate. Use that reference for the scope of each authority and control.
