FATF’s Travel Rule requires virtual asset service providers to collect and transmit originator and beneficiary information for cryptocurrency transactions above typical thresholds of $1,000 or €1,000, creating challenges for decentralized exchanges built around peer-to-peer, pseudonymous smart-contract interactions. The text argues that DEXs seeking regulatory legitimacy must reconcile these requirements with privacy and decentralization through tools such as self-sovereign identity, verifiable credentials, zero-knowledge proofs, on-chain transaction analytics, and risk monitoring. It identifies KYC, liveness detection, sanctions and politically exposed person screening, and AML monitoring as key components of a compliance layer that can assess higher-risk activity without necessarily requiring DEXs to retain extensive personal data. Didit is presented as a modular, AI-native identity platform offering document verification, liveness checks, and AML screening through APIs or a no-code console, with flexible integration options and a free core KYC offering intended to make Travel Rule compliance more accessible for DEXs.
