Due-diligence pillars

Four pillars are scored 0-10 and combined with fixed weights (licensing 35%, jurisdiction 25%, kyc_aml 30%, operational 10%). The result is on the same 0-10 scale as a wallet score so the two can be compared, but it measures the counterparty's controls, not its transaction history.

Registration and licensing weight 35% 2.5 of 10 · 36.8% of score

Licensed by Estonia financial supervisory authority. (+1.0)
The authorisation is claimed but not verifiable against a strong supervisor's register, so it is not yet evidence of a control. (+2.0)
Holds a MiCA authorisation, which carries specific capital, custody and disclosure obligations. (-0.5)

Jurisdictional risk weight 25% 3.6 of 10 · 37.9% of score

Incorporated in Estonia, which carries a jurisdiction risk of 2 of 10 in this model. (+2.0)
Operates from Venezuela, a higher-risk jurisdiction than the one it is incorporated in. Where a service actually operates matters as much as where it is registered. (+1.6)

KYC and AML rigour weight 30% 1.0 of 10 · 12.6% of score

Identity is verified before any withdrawal, with enhanced due diligence on higher-risk customers. (+1.0)

Operational integrity weight 10% 3.0 of 10 · 12.6% of score

Holds customer funds, so it is the party a Travel Rule request or a freeze order is served on. (0.0)
Only 1 address(es) are attributed to this entity, so its on-chain behaviour is barely observable and exposure to it may be under-counted. (+1.0)
