Compliance & Identity
Compliance is not an accessory in Stobox 4 - it is the operational core of the ecosystem. The platform integrates a multi-layer compliance system combining decentralized identity, regulatory checks, and on-chain authorization, ensuring that tokenized assets operate legally and predictably across jurisdictions.
At the center of this system is the Stobox DID (Decentralized Identity), which binds a verified identity to every action taken by an investor or issuer.
Paired with the STV3 protocol, this creates a compliance environment where rules are not just procedures—they are enforced by code.
Stobox 4 is designed to satisfy regulatory expectations for securities markets, institutional-grade tokenization, and cross-border investor management while maintaining a seamless user experience.
Decentralized Identity (DID) as the Compliance Foundation
Every participant in the Stobox 4 ecosystem - investors and businesses receives a DID once verified.
A DID contains:
identity attributes (individual or business)
jurisdiction
investor category
risk and AML indicators
offering eligibility
sanctions data
metadata relevant to regulated assets
The DID is the single source of truth for determining whether a user is allowed to interact with an asset, subscribe to an offering, or receive distributions.
Why DID Is Critical
DIDs ensure that:
asset ownership is linked to a verified identity
compliance rules follow the person, not the wallet
automated enforcement is possible at the smart contract layer
issuers maintain regulatory alignment
regulators can verify operational integrity
Unlike traditional crypto systems, where identity is optional, Stobox 4 requires identity for every action involving tokenized assets.
KYC, KYB, and Investor Classification
To create a DID, users undergo standard regulatory checks:
Individuals (KYC)
Verification includes:
personal identification
residency and jurisdiction
sanctions checks
risk scoring
investor category confirmation (retail, accredited, professional)
Businesses (KYB)
Verification includes:
incorporation documents
beneficial ownership (UBO declaration)
director identity verification
AML screening
industry risk analysis
Investor Categorization
This classification determines:
which offerings a user may access
how much they can invest
what transfer rules apply
which rights they may exercise
Investor category is a compliance parameter used by STV3 to enforce offering rules.
On-Chain Enforcement Through STV3
Compliance in Stobox 4 is machine-enforced, not trust-based.
Each STV3 asset embeds:
transfer restrictions
jurisdictional limitations
investor category requirements
lock-up and vesting schedules
ownership structure rules
asset-specific constraints
When a holder attempts to perform any action—transfer, redeem, receive distributions—STV3 checks:
the sender’s DID
the receiver’s DID
the applicable rules
the timing and lifecycle conditions
If any rule fails, the blockchain rejects the transaction.
This ensures that compliance is maintained perpetually, without manual intervention.
Transaction-Level Compliance (AML, KYT, Risk Controls)
Compliance is not limited to onboarding. Each transaction passing through Stobox 4 is evaluated for risk before execution.
Screenings Include
AML transaction scoring
KYT (Know Your Transaction) checks
sanctions database lookups
wallet behavior analysis
geography-based restrictions
Financial Actions Subject to Screening
STO subscription payments
distributions
redemptions
stablecoin transfers to the issuer Vault
peer-to-peer transfers (if enabled)
If a transaction fails risk checks, it is blocked, logged, and flagged for review.
Jurisdictional Controls
Every DID contains jurisdiction data. STV3 enforces rules that may limit participation or transfers based on:
local securities laws
regional offering restrictions
foreign ownership limitations
asset-specific legal requirements
tax constraints
Jurisdictional controls are essential for:
U.S. accredited investor rules
EU retail/professional segmentation
APAC foreign investment protections
sanctioned or embargoed countries
Stobox 4 ensures issuers can scale globally while complying locally.
Continuous Compliance Throughout the Asset Lifecycle
Compliance does not end when a token is issued—it continues across all lifecycle events:
STO Subscription
DID is checked before accepting funds.
Token Allocation
Only eligible investors receive assets.
Distributions
Payments are allowed only to compliant wallets.
Voting & Governance
Only authorized investors can participate.
Transfers
Sender and receiver eligibility validated before movement.
Redemptions
Redemption eligibility is validated to ensure regulatory alignment.
Compliance becomes an automated, ongoing guarantee supported by both off-chain checks and on-chain enforcement.
Auditability and Regulatory Reporting
Stobox 4 maintains complete transparency and traceability without exposing private identity data publicly.
Issuers can access:
tokenholder registers
distribution logs
capital flow records
compliance event logs
subscription histories
transaction screening results
Auditors and regulators can verify:
identity controls
rule enforcement
accurate lifecycle execution
proper investor categorization
absence of non-compliant behavior
This removes ambiguity from regulated digital asset operations.
Why Stobox 4’s Compliance Model Is Unique
Most tokenization systems rely on:
off-chain databases
manual admin intervention
off-chain cap tables
unenforced rules
This leads to:
operational risk
legal non-compliance
potential misallocations
transfer violations
weak investor protections
Stobox 4 solves this by integrating:
DID identity
regulatory frameworks
STV3 enforcement
AML/KYT screening
on-chain validation
The result is a closed-loop compliance architecture that is proactive, automated, and self-enforcing.
Summary
Stobox 4 integrates compliance as a foundational system rather than an external requirement. Every investor and issuer is issued a DID that governs what they can access and how they interact with tokenized assets. KYC/KYB verification, investor categorization, AML/KYT checks, jurisdictional restrictions, and regulatory controls are enforced automatically through a combination of off-chain validation and on-chain rule enforcement within the STV3 protocol. This creates a secure, transparent, and fully compliant environment for issuing, managing, and transacting digital assets across their entire lifecycle.
