This session explores how to achieve regulatory adherence without compromising the core principles of decentralization. Discussion will cover verifiable credentials, on-chain analytics, and privacy-enhancing technologies designed to satisfy Japanese AML/KYC mandates within non-custodial and autonomous financial protocols.
