Project Details
This standard defines requirements for multiple aspects of user identification and Anti-Money Laundering on cryptocurrency exchanges, such as KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations, outsourcing proper compliance measures to third-party solutions, and building up a self-regulatory layer of security and accountability among exchanges. It is to keep customers from malignant influence of unethical and illegal money that can be traced back inside/outside the cryptocurrency space. It is different from the P2140.2 standard, which is based on the protection of customer cryptographic assets.

This standard defines requirements for multiple aspects of security management for customer cryptographic assets on cryptocurrency exchanges, such as user identification using multi-factor authentication, prioritized protection of customer assets under unforeseen circumstances, and professional ethics of operation for cryptocurrency exchange platforms.
|
This standard defines an extension framework based on P2140.1. The extension framework uses a Smart Contract mechanism to process transactions on an exchange, to replace the role of exchange operators. Cryptographic solutions to provide "data privacy" and "data protection" are defined. This standard also defines a series of extensible interfaces for the exchange scenario, enabling support of third-party financial derivatives using tokens.

Existing Standards |
Self-discipline and professional ethics of cryptocurrency exchange platforms, as well as relevance between them and to cryptocurrency wallets are covered in this standard. Exchange business logic, operational procedures, user authentication programs are also covered in this standard. In addition, a small but necessary technical category of requirements, including terminologies, basic architectural framework, key indicators, end-user interface specifications, in order to achieve the previously mentioned goals is covered in this standard.
|
A framework of a custodian service for cryptocurrency and token assets is defined in this standard. Custodian reference technical architecture, business logic description, custodian service business models, digital asset evaluation criteria, operational procedure models, and regulatory requirement support models are included in this framework.
