Sekuritance Is Here to Boost Public Confidence in Blockchain Transactions

Crypto’s anarchic nature, with the emphasis on decentralization, lacks any regulatory bodies so far. But sooner or later it will have to adopt standards of some kind because when money moves in and out from the blockchains to and from the traditional financial system, some kind of compliance must exist. And that’s the very problem that Sekuritance aims to solve.

Sekuritance: One-Stop Compliance and Regulatory Shop

Sekuritance is a one-of-a-kind project in Regulatory Technology (RegTech) that could help the blockchain environment move closer into the mainstream. The new platform offers a wide range of services in a single place that allows any user to ensure regulatory compliance, monitor programs, and queries. It’s useful for both individuals and institutions.

Any user can use Sekuritance to run end-to-end cyber risk assessments, blockchain wallet address checks, card processing MFA checks, CECL, FCPA, and AML/CTF operations. In other words, it’s a single platform that can bring respectability to any blockchain operation at the cost of a few clicks.

The new platform is built with security, flexibility, and scalability in mind. The internal engine includes multidimensional risk and advanced holistic screening.

The project includes SKRT, a cryptocurrency that will support enterprise-class regulatory compliance, increased security, and all the other features in Sekuritance. SKRT is an ERC-20 token and it leverages the consensus-driven mechanics within the blockchain.

SKRT’s role is processing and logging on the regulation technology-related data and payment-related verification services. All is done employing smart contracts. The company will soon join the ranks of the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance.

While there are many ways to tackle the compliance problem in blockchains, Sekuritance’s take is unique in that its various services bring compliance, fraud and transaction monitoring, and anti-money laundering verification under a single roof.

The technology is not linked to any specific blockchain, so it’s blockchain agnostic. That means it can work on any public protocol as well as private or restricted ones. Ethereum, Bitcoin, or Hyperledger make no difference for SKRT.

So compliance with regulations is Sekuritance’s main thing, but there’s plenty more. Data tokenization, forensic analysis, MPI services, activity transactions monitoring, and 3D enrollment are in the mix. Also, it enhances its users’ KYC profile.

Even better for prospective users and clients, third-party customization is in the project’s mind since the beginning so that widespread adoption can happen quickly.

The Future

Sekuritance is one of many much-needed blockchain projects that are pushing cryptocurrencies into the real physical world.

While the theoretical potential inherent in the crypto-sphere is not in doubt, its practical utility is still limited by the lack of the correct technologies and ideas that can turn a great idea into a set of great solutions to everyday problems that everybody can use as easily as checking the weather on their mobile. Sekuritance seems to be the one step in the right direction as it helps to bridge that gap.

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove

A myriad of gold bugs like to compliment the yellow precious metal for its ostensible scarcity, as estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates. Recently, reports show a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. Surprise Gold Deposits Continue to Crack the Precious Metal’s Scarcity Proposition It has always been said that the precious metal gold (Au) is scarce, and some reports even say that gold mining on earth will end by the year 2050 . Additionally, estimates also show that there’s roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold that is accounted for and enters into the fin...
