Deposit With Travel Rule

The Travel Rule deposit process ensures compliance with international regulatory requirements by facilitating the secure exchange of information between Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) during cryptocurrency transactions. This process involves verifying and sharing key details, such as wallet addresses and transaction data, between the originator and beneficiary VASPs. By integrating tools like DEFY’s backend services, the workflow ensures that all parties involved adhere to the Travel Rule by validating transaction details, confirming wallet ownership, and securely transmitting transaction hashes. This helps prevent illicit activities such as money laundering and enhances trust and transparency in digital asset transactions.
