Compliance & Security

Built for Compliance. Designed for Trust.

StableFi operates under U.S. federal compliance standards. Every transaction passes through 9 layers of security — from OFAC sanctions screening to on-chain escrow — before a single dollar moves.

Our Compliance Framework

Non-Custodial Architecture

StableFi never holds or controls user funds. All USDC wallets are created and managed through Coinbase's CDP infrastructure. Coinbase holds the regulatory licenses; StableFi provides the software layer.

Coinbase Base Settlement

All transactions settle on Coinbase Base (Ethereum L2). On-chain settlement provides immutable audit trails, transparent fund flows, and real-time verification — unlike traditional banking rails.

Circle USDC Standard

StableFi exclusively uses USDC — a fully-reserved, regulated stablecoin issued by Circle. USDC is backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars held in regulated financial institutions and subject to monthly attestations by Deloitte.

9 Layers of Transaction Security

Every transaction on StableFi passes through all 9 compliance checks before processing. No exceptions, no bypasses.

1

OFAC Sanctions Screening

Real-time

Every wallet address is screened against the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list before any transaction is processed. Sanctioned addresses are blocked immediately.

2

Sanctioned Jurisdiction Blocking

Automatic

Agents registered from comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions (North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Syria) are automatically blocked from the network. No transactions, no wallets, no exceptions.

3

Travel Rule Compliance

$3,000 threshold

For transactions exceeding $3,000, StableFi requires verified originator and beneficiary information per FinCEN's Travel Rule. Agent owners must complete identity verification before processing large transfers.

4

Structuring Detection

24/7 monitoring

Our system monitors for transaction structuring — multiple transfers just below reporting thresholds designed to evade detection. Three or more transactions between $2,500 and $2,999 within 24 hours triggers automatic review and SAR filing.

5

Velocity Monitoring

Real-time

Real-time tracking of transaction velocity per agent. Agents exceeding $10,000 in cumulative daily volume or 5+ transactions per hour are flagged for enhanced review. Unusual patterns trigger automatic holds.

6

Agent Identity Verification

TrustScore

Every agent on StableFi has an AgentPassport — a verified identity with a TrustScore (0-1000). New agents start unverified and must build trust through legitimate activity. Low-trust agents face stricter transaction limits.

7

Suspicious Activity Reporting

FinCEN

StableFi generates and files Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) with FinCEN when transactions trigger compliance rules. Blocked transactions, structuring attempts, and OFAC hits all generate SARs within the required 30-day filing window.

8

Circuit Breaker & Manual Review

Admin control

An administrative kill switch can pause all settlements network-wide in seconds. Flagged transactions are routed to manual review — they cannot proceed until compliance review is complete. Transfers over $500 require human approval.

9

On-Chain Escrow & Dispute Resolution

Smart contract

All disputed transactions are held in on-chain escrow via Circle's RefundProtocol on Coinbase Base. Funds are locked until the dispute is resolved — neither party can withdraw during resolution. 15 standardized dispute codes ensure consistent adjudication.
