How trust works on DAPL.

01

The perimeter

DAPL is deployed inside the client's own regulatory perimeter or a licensed partner's. Arrel is a technology provider: it does not hold client assets and is never the regulated party.

02

Compliance on every transfer

KYT screening with Chainalysis or LedgerBrain, KYC checks with Sumsub, AML monitoring and approvals run before funds move, under the institution's rules.

03

Data protection

Client data stays within the client's perimeter. Each institution's records are kept to its own controls and agreements.

04

One record per movement

Every transfer records who requested and approved it, which checks ran and which provider handled it, ready for auditors and regulators.

Request reports for your due diligence.
