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 Singapore financial supervisory authority. (+1.0)
- The authorisation is verifiable against a strong supervisor's public register. (-0.5)
- Incorporated in Singapore, which carries a jurisdiction risk of 1 of 10 in this model. (+1.0)
- Operates from Panama, 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)
- 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)
