The Liechtenstein Protocol is a decentralized compliance protocol developed by LCX, a regulated fintech company based in Liechtenstein. It’s designed to standardize the way security tokens and other tokenized assets are issued and traded on blockchains, with a strong focus on regulatory compliance.
The core of the Liechtenstein Protocol is a set of on-chain and on-token-level rules that can be embedded directly into a digital asset. These rules can automate compliance with a wide range of legal and regulatory requirements, such as those related to KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering). Key services enabled by the protocol include on-chain asset management, which allows for the issuance, timelocking, and burning of tokens, as well as real-time tracking of a token's ownership through a "Token Holder Registry."
The Liechtenstein Protocol is blockchain-agnostic, but it has a key integration with the Hedera network leveraging the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to provide a secure, transparent, and compliant infrastructure for digital securities.
