AetherCoin is committed to the highest standards of compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations to prevent the misuse of blockchain technology for illicit activities.
As a decentralized protocol, the core developers do not act as a financial intermediary. However, we encourage all ecosystem participants, especially exchanges and OTC desks, to implement rigorous AML/KYC procedures in accordance with their local jurisdictions.
Users from countries subject to international sanctions or where cryptocurrency is prohibited by law must not use the AetherCoin software or network.
While the network is decentralized, we support global efforts to track and report illicit activities on the blockchain. We cooperate with law enforcement agencies by providing technical information about the open-source protocol when legally required.
Any service provider integrating AEC is expected to perform risk assessments, monitor transactions for suspicious activity, and maintain accurate records of their users.
