Shyft
What is Shyft Network?
The Shyft Network is a public protocol designed to validate identity and power compliance directly into blockchain data. By facilitating the transfer of verifiable data between centralized and decentralized ecosystems, Shyft Network delivers meaningful user information that institutions can utilize to secure cryptocurrency while maintaining privacy.
Compliant DeFi on Shyft Network
Large Liquidity Providers (LPs) often cannot interact with the DeFi space because of regulatory constraints and lack of clarity. Similarly, platforms within the DeFi space can't explore funding potentials due to small opportunity space relative to the total potential addressable market assuming regulatory compatibility.
Problem Statement
Traditional financial institutions strictly adhere to KYC, AML, and CFT guidelines. Blockchain-based institutions fail to do so since they are permissionless, opt-in, trustless P2P networks without a central authority to enforce these requirements.
Shyft Network Solution
Shyft Network will change that in the following ways:
- Identity Verification
- Creation of Compliant Assets
- Credit Scoring
Shyft Network provides an opt-in framework for gathering, storing, and sharing user identification data on a need-by basis. Our platform acts as a trust anchor and a bridge between users, DeFi platforms, and centralized organizations by providing the required data in a secure manner.
Creation of compliant assets and asset pools: Only verified individuals and organizations will be able to create compliant DeFi assets and asset pools such as loans, liquidity pools, derivatives, governance tokens, etc.
The Shyft Network can function as a validator for DeFi participants. Verified players will have their addresses whitelisted, enabling them to participate, create, and have access to compliant assets. Malicious and suspicious actors will be blacklisted as a precaution to other users, which is aimed at minimizing risk.
