FAQs

Answers to Real Compliance Questions

Curated questions covering regulatory, technical, and operational topics in Web3 and digital asset compliance.

What are the AML obligations for a crypto exchange?

Crypto exchanges operating as Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) must implement Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for high-risk customers, transaction monitoring, Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR), and Travel Rule compliance for transfers above the jurisdictional threshold.

What measures prevent voting power centralization in DAOs?

Effective DAO governance design uses quadratic voting, time-locks on large token transfers, delegation caps, reputation-weighted votes, multi-sig execution delays, and on-chain transparency so any concentration of power is visible and contestable by the community.

What components are required for a DeFi lending protocol?

A compliant DeFi lending protocol typically requires oracle price feeds, collateral management modules, liquidation engines, interest rate controllers, KYC/AML screening layers, smart contract audit certification, and jurisdiction-specific reporting components.

How does the Knowledge Base power the Use Case Builder?

When you create a new use case in the builder, Yirifi pre-populates it with the relevant Knowledge Base entry — including applicable components, regulatory filters, and compliance considerations — so you can begin configuring a compliant framework in minutes, not weeks.

What are the licensing requirements for a VASP in Singapore?

Under the Payment Services Act (PSA), VASPs in Singapore must obtain a Major Payment Institution (MPI) licence or an Exemption from MAS, implement full AML/CFT programmes, appoint a compliance officer, and meet MAS Technology Risk Management (TRM) guidelines.

What smart contract security practices are essential for DeFi?

Critical practices include independent security audits before deployment, formal verification for critical logic, bug bounty programs, timelocked upgrades, circuit breakers for emergency pause, and oracle manipulation protections using TWAP pricing rather than spot prices.
