In the rapidly evolving world of decentralized finance (DeFi), compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations has become increasingly critical. As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, DeFi startups face the challenge of maintaining compliance while scaling their operations.

The Growing Need for AML Compliance in DeFi

Traditional financial institutions have long implemented robust AML frameworks, but DeFi presents unique challenges. The decentralized nature of blockchain technology, combined with the pseudonymous transactions, creates complexities that traditional compliance tools struggle to address.
