We're now in beta — first live: verified issuers and their registered, independently verifiable shareholder certificates. The full marketplace is rolling out next. Thanks for being here early!
STOC's AML/KYC framework is designed to align with the institutional standards of the US (SEC, CFTC, FinCEN), EU (MiCA, AMLD6), UK (FCA), and APAC (Vietnam, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong). Specific registrations and approvals are pursued as each market is opened — STOC does not hold every licence implied by these frameworks today.
Different levels of verification unlock different investment opportunities.
Access level 3
Access high-yield and private credit assets
Multi-layer safeguards ensure the integrity of every transaction.
Third-party identity-verification flow designed to handle US passport/driver license, EU eIDAS, UK passport/photocard, Vietnamese CMND/CCCD, and Korean 주민등록증.
Transaction-screening pipeline designed to flag suspicious activity patterns on every trade once live.
Screening pipeline designed to check against OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated, and UN Security Council lists.
OFAC-blocked and sanctioned jurisdictions are restricted from platform access by design.
Sovereign chain advantage
Compliance enforced at the consensus layer
STOC is a sovereign Layer 1 for RWA. The x/compliance AnteHandler runs KYC, AML, sanctions, and tier checks before every transaction is included in a block. It is impossible to bypass — unlike contract-level compliance on general-purpose chains, which can be circumvented via DEX aggregators or private mempools.
Ethereum-based RWA platform
Compliance lives in a smart contract that sits on top of a general execution environment.
STOC sovereign chain
Compliance is part of consensus. Every validator runs the same x/compliance module.
Regulator note: Consensus-level enforcement is designed to meet the “protocol-embedded compliance” standard described in BSA modernization proposals (FinCEN 31 CFR §1010) and EU MiCA Title II §16, so STOC can adapt rapidly if either framework is applied to the platform. STOC's validator set can be paused or slashed by governance if a sanction violation is detected on-chain.
STOC is designed to align with the regulatory frameworks of its target markets; specific registrations and approvals are pursued as each market is opened.
