Long-form papers on the architectural shifts shaping regulated finance. KYC data as an asset, verification as a network, and Travel Rule at scale.
We publish on cadence, not on volume. Each paper is on something specific we have built and are operating, not theoretical positioning. Full papers sit in a library we open to people we have granted access to. Request access and we will set you up, or open the library if you already have it.
Every regulated institution spends heavily on KYC and KYB, then treats the result as a sunk cost. This paper makes the case for treating verified customer data as a governed, reusable asset: one that other institutions can reference under clear ownership, usage rights and revenue entitlements, and that earns its keep every time it is reused rather than sitting in a file until it goes stale.
How BlockID turns a single verification into something a whole network of regulated institutions can rely on. The paper sets out the model: a bank verifies a customer once to the standard its supervisor expects, the attestation is published for discovery, and other institutions reference it under consent and contract instead of repeating the work. It covers the incentives for the verifying institution, the controls that keep the underlying records private, and what changes for onboarding when duplication stops.
A practical examination of the FATF Travel Rule market in 2026: where the protocol fragmentation lives, how counterparty discovery breaks down at scale, and what a coordinated layer looks like in practice. Written for VASP compliance leads, regulators and integrators.
