Legal & Regulatory Compliance
At EDITH, we recognize that legal and regulatory compliance is a critical pillar of tokenized real-world asset offerings. We take a thorough and measured approach to risk management, with compliance-oriented design rooted in consultation with legal, tax, and regulatory experts across multiple jurisdictions.
Phase 1: Direct Asset Ownership Structure
EDITH Foundation Structure The protocol operates through a carefully designed legal structure:
EDITH Foundation: Decentralized governance entity managing protocol development and treasury
Asset Holding Entities: Separate legal entities for each asset class (GPU infrastructure, energy assets, real estate) providing liability isolation and regulatory compliance
α-NFT Framework: Each asset is tokenized through fractional ownership structures that comply with applicable securities regulations in relevant jurisdictions
Investor Protection Framework
KYC/AML Compliance: Customer due diligence for anti-money laundering, countering terrorist financing, and sanctions compliance
Accredited Investor Verification: Compliance with applicable securities laws for token offerings
Asset Verification: Third-party audits and verification of all physical assets before tokenization
Legal Documentation: Comprehensive offering documents, risk disclosures, and terms of service
Phase 2: Platform Tokenization Compliance
Multi-Jurisdiction Support The EDITH Platform provides pre-vetted legal frameworks across 50+ jurisdictions:
Entity Structuring: Pre-approved structures for various asset classes and jurisdictions
Securities Compliance: Exemption analysis and registration guidance (Regulation D, Regulation S, Section 3(c)(7) where applicable)
Regulatory Monitoring: Ongoing tracking of regulatory developments and framework updates
Documentation Templates: Standardized legal agreements adapted to specific use cases
Compliance Infrastructure
Automated KYC/AML: Integration with leading identity verification providers
Sanctions Screening: Real-time screening against OFAC and international sanctions lists
Transaction Monitoring: Automated suspicious activity detection and reporting
Audit Trails: Comprehensive logging of all platform activities for regulatory review
Phase 3: Lending Marketplace Regulations
Lending Compliance Framework
Licensing: Appropriate money transmitter and lending licenses in applicable jurisdictions
Consumer Protection: Compliance with truth-in-lending, fair lending, and consumer protection laws
Credit Reporting: Integration with credit bureaus where required
Dispute Resolution: Binding arbitration framework with international enforcement
USDi0 Stablecoin Regulatory Approach
Decentralized Stablecoin Framework USDi0 (launching after $100M AUM milestone) is designed with regulatory compliance at its core:
Decentralization: No single controlling entity; governance by token holders
Transparency: Real-time on-chain reserve verification and public attestations
Compliance: KYC/AML for redemptions over $10,000
Reserve Audits: Monthly independent attestations with cryptographic proofs
Jurisdictional Analysis: Ongoing assessment of stablecoin regulations globally
