Pillar 02 - Compliance

Policy Corridor Enforcement

Configurable enforcement of corridor-specific compliance rules at settlement time. Policy rules are checked and evaluated before value moves - not after.

Real-World Scenario

Cross-border custodian transfer with jurisdiction-specific thresholds

A custodian processes a cross-border asset transfer requiring jurisdiction-specific thresholds and approval chains. Different corridors have different regulatory requirements - transaction limits, multi-signature approvals, sanctions screening.

Without policy evaluation: Compliance checks happen outside the settlement workflow. Rules are checked after funds move, creating gaps between intent and execution.

With JIL: The policy engine validates corridor rules before settlement completes. Thresholds, approval chains, and jurisdiction requirements are enforced at the protocol layer. Non-compliant transactions are flagged, held, or rejected according to institution-defined policy before execution.

Institutional Benefit

Compliance built into the settlement workflow

  • Reduces manual compliance checks by automating corridor rule enforcement
  • Standardizes cross-border enforcement across jurisdictions
  • Improves audit defensibility with policy evidence embedded in every receipt
  • Configurable per corridor - institutions define their own rules
Differentiation

Legacy vs JIL approach

Legacy Infrastructure
Policy evaluation happens outside the settlement workflow. Compliance teams review transactions after execution. Rules are applied inconsistently across corridors. Audit evidence is reconstructed from logs.
JIL Settlement
Policy evaluation is embedded inside the settlement workflow. Rules are checked and evaluated before value moves. Every evaluation decision is recorded in the finality receipt. Corridor policies are versioned, hashed, and auditable.
