Mutuum anticipates leveraging external blockchain intelligence services to prevent interactions from wallets suspected of engaging in illicit activities. These services combine on-chain analytics with real-world investigative data to identify behaviors associated with financial crimes, fraud, or other prohibited conduct. If a wallet is flagged, it may be blocked from accessing Mutuum’s front-end, helping ensure compliance with applicable regulations and maintaining a safe environment for legitimate users.
When users attempt to connect a wallet, Mutuum’s interface sends the wallet address to a proxy endpoint maintained by the protocol’s infrastructure. This endpoint forwards the address directly to the third-party screening service without storing additional user metadata or IP information. The screening platform evaluates whether the address is connected to potentially unlawful or restricted activities. If a high-risk status is detected, the wallet is denied access to the protocol’s user interface.
No IP Sharing: Mutuum does not share user IP addresses with the third-party intelligence provider.
No Extra Metadata: Aside from the wallet address itself, no other personal or transactional data is transmitted.
Regulatory Compliance: By blocking flagged addresses, the protocol aims to align with relevant laws and regulations in various jurisdictions, reducing potential liability and safeguarding user funds against misuse.
