In a previous post we went through the benefits of an Digital Twin for a Defi Ecosystem. Here we drill down into one of the more esoteric ones.
In the rapidly evolving world of decentralised finance (DeFi), the need for platforms that attract both retail and institutional participants is paramount. However, to engage institutional participants effectively, platforms must navigate the complex waters of regulation and due diligence. This is where RegDefy emerges as a game-changer in the DeFi space.
The Need for Institutional Participation in DeFi
A thriving DeFi platform relies on a diverse array of participants to provide liquidity and generate fees. For a platform to reach the pinnacle of success, it must attract institutional participants who conduct high-volume, high-value transactions. These institutions, bound by regulatory requirements, must perform thorough due diligence before onboarding any DeFi platform.
The Rigorous Process of Due Diligence
Due diligence for regulated participants often entails completing extensive bespoke questionnaires. These questionnaires, which can exceed 100 questions, probe into various aspects of a business’s operations, such as incident management strategies and operational risk management. Standardised systems like the FSQS accreditation have been adopted by some, but they still require detailed responses on a wide range of topics including business continuity, financial health, IT security, and more.
The Challenge of Compliance and Consistency
Answering these questionnaires accurately and consistently is a daunting, time-consuming task. Ideally, it’s managed by a dedicated team with specialised knowledge built up over time. However, this approach can be draining and demoralising for the team involved due to the repetitive and intricate nature of the work.
Enter RegDefy: A Digital Solution for Efficient Compliance
RegDefy revolutionises this process by managing the Ecosystem Digital Twin. This digital twin ensures all relevant information is not only easily accessible but also up-to-date and consistent across various responses.
