On-Chain Compliance for Decentralized Finance
DeFi protocols face increasing regulatory pressure. Kontext gives your protocol tamper-evident governance records, treasury anomaly detection, and audit trails that satisfy regulators without sacrificing decentralization.
Why DeFi protocols need compliance infrastructure
Decentralization does not mean deregulation. Protocols that invest in compliance infrastructure now will be better positioned as regulation matures.
Regulatory pressure increasing on DeFi
Regulators worldwide are turning their attention to DeFi protocols. Whether it is the SEC, CFTC, or international bodies, protocols that cannot demonstrate compliance infrastructure will face increasing risk.
No standard compliance tooling for protocols
Traditional compliance tools were built for centralized entities. DeFi protocols need compliance infrastructure that works with on-chain governance, multi-sig treasuries, and decentralized decision-making.
Governance decisions need audit trails
Every governance proposal, vote, and execution should be recorded in a tamper-evident audit trail. When regulators ask how a decision was made, you need verifiable proof.
Treasury operations need accountability
Protocol treasuries manage significant assets across multiple chains. Every transfer, swap, and allocation needs a compliance record that can withstand regulatory scrutiny.
Compliance tooling designed for decentralized protocols
Governance logging, treasury monitoring, and audit export -- built for the way DeFi protocols actually work.
Governance Action Logging
Record every governance proposal, vote, and execution in a tamper-evident audit trail. Cryptographic digest chains ensure governance records cannot be altered after the fact.
Cross-Chain Transaction Tracking
Track transactions across Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and more. A unified audit trail spanning every chain your protocol operates on.
Treasury Anomaly Detection
Flag unusual treasury movements automatically. Velocity checks, amount thresholds, and behavioral analysis tuned for DeFi treasury operations.
Participant Trust Scoring
Score protocol participants based on on-chain history, behavioral patterns, and interaction frequency. Identify high-risk actors before they impact the protocol.
Immutable Governance Records
Every governance action is linked in a cryptographic digest chain. Provide regulators and community members with verifiable proof of governance decisions.
Regulatory Inquiry Export
Export compliance-ready audit trails in JSON, CSV, and PDF when regulators come asking. Structured data ready for legal review and regulatory response.
Governance voting and treasury transfers
Log governance votes and treasury transfers with ctx.verify(). Every action is recorded in a tamper-evident digest chain, linking governance decisions to the treasury operations they authorize.
- Governance proposals linked to treasury executions
- Multi-sig signer tracking for treasury transfers
- Anomaly detection for unusual treasury movements
- Cross-chain audit trail for L2 operations
- Export audit trails for regulatory inquiries
