AML/CTF Compliance
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) compliance. Our compliance framework is designed to meet regulatory requirements and mitigate risks associated with money laundering and terrorist financing. This document outlines our policies and procedures to ensure compliance with North American regulations and international standards.
Scope
This AML/CTF compliance policy applies to all activities conducted by Eden, including the issuance, trading, and management of multiple tokens such as stable tokens, bridge tokens, and utility tokens within our ecosystem. It also encompasses our on-ramp services, Dogechain integration using WDOGE as gas, zkEVM operations, and staking features (no lockups, 11x).
Regulatory Compliance
North American Regulations
We adhere to all relevant AML/CTF regulations in North America, including:
- The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA): We implement comprehensive record-keeping and reporting protocols to comply with the BSA requirements.
- USA PATRIOT Act: Our procedures ensure compliance with enhanced due diligence and reporting obligations mandated by the USA PATRIOT Act.
