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.
- Licensed by United Arab Emirates 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)
- Incorporated in United Arab Emirates, which carries a jurisdiction risk of 3 of 10 in this model. (+3.0)
- Identity is verified before any withdrawal, with enhanced due diligence on higher-risk customers. (+1.0)
- Holds customer funds, so it is the party a Travel Rule request or a freeze order is served on. (0.0)
- Only 2 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)
