plug-circle-plusCompliance and Security Measures

Compliance Measures

  1. Chain Monitoring:

    • Zipper integrates with chain monitoring companies to prevent interactions with:

      • Sanctioned wallets (e.g., OFAC-listed addresses).

      • Wallets flagged for theft or illicit activity.

    • Transactions associated with such wallets are flagged and blocked during the wrapping or unwrapping process.

  2. No Minimum Asset Requirements:

    • Users can wrap or unwrap any amount, as long as they cover the associated network fees. This ensures accessibility for all users.

  3. Transaction Validation:

    • Zipper validates all transactions for security and legitimacy. If a transaction is flagged for compliance, it may experience slight delays while undergoing additional checks.


Security Measures

  1. Vault Protection:

    • Original assets are stored in multi-signature wallets, managed with a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) protocol. This ensures no single entity can access the vault’s keys.

    • Vault operations are designed to assume all entities are potential bad actors, maximizing security.

  2. On-Chain Transparency:

    • All transactions, including wrapping and unwrapping, are recorded on-chain. Users can verify the contract addresses for their zAssets and their corresponding original assets.

  3. Redundancy Mechanisms:

    • Zipper incorporates safeguards to handle unexpected network or vault issues, ensuring uninterrupted operations and asset security.
