Effective Date: January 18, 2025
1. Introduction
To safeguard global Web3 users, developers, network integrity, and ecosystem security, AtlantisChain, USA — the only lawful Layer-ZERO public blockchain — remains committed to preventing its ecosystem from being exploited for illegal activities, including hacking, rug pulls, fraud, terrorist financing, and transactions involving U.S.-sanctioned entities.
This Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) Policy outlines the measures we implement to detect, prevent, and mitigate such illicit activities within our ecosystem.
This policy specifically targets hackers, rug pullers, fraudsters, terrorists, and U.S.-sanctioned individuals or entities. It does not apply to general financial transactions or regulatory compliance unrelated to these concerns.
2. Prohibited Activities
Any individual or entity engaging in criminal activities within the AtlantisChain ecosystem will face immediate action, including the freezing of associated wallet addresses, contract address restrictions, asset seizures, and potential legal proceedings.
- Hacking: Unauthorized access, exploitation of vulnerabilities, manipulation of smart contracts, or attempts to disrupt network security.
- Rug Pulls: Fraudulent projects or developers who intentionally deceive users by withdrawing initial liquidity, causing the token price to drop by more than 95% within a short period, and abandoning the project's token holders for financial gain.
- Fraud: Any deceptive scheme, phishing attempt, impersonation, or manipulation of blockchain transactions intended to defraud users or the network.
- Terrorist Financing: Using AtlantisChain’s services to fund, support, or facilitate terrorism-related activities, organizations, or individuals as defined by the United States of America (“USA”) or the United Nations (“UN”).
- Transactions with U.S.-Sanctioned Parties: Engaging in transactions with individuals, entities, or jurisdictions subject to U.S. sanctions laws, including but not limited to those designated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”).
As the only lawful public blockchain with legally protected intellectual property based in the USA, AtlantisChain strictly prohibits the use of its services for laundering illicit funds linked to the above-listed activities.
3. Monitoring and Detection
AtlantisChain employs on-chain analysis, AI-driven transaction monitoring, and heuristic algorithms to detect suspicious activities linked to hacking, rug pulls, fraud, terrorist financing, and U.S.-sanctioned transactions.
Key measures include:
- Real-Time Wallet Address Screening: Continuously monitoring transactions for patterns linked to illicit activities.
- Blacklist Enforcement: Identifying and restricting wallet addresses associated with hackers, fraud, terrorism, and U.S.-sanctioned entities.
- Automated Alerts & Investigations: Flagging high-risk transactions for further scrutiny.
- Smart Contract Audits: Detecting vulnerabilities that could enable financial fraud, rug pulls, terrorism financing, or sanctions violations.
AtlantisChain reserves the right to take immediate action against suspicious transactions or activities without prior notice.
4. Enforcement Actions
AtlantisChain enforces a zero-tolerance policy against hackers, rug pullers, fraudsters, terrorists, and U.S.-sanctioned entities.
Any wallet, smart contract, or user involved in illicit activities may face the following consequences:
- Asset Freezing: Temporary or permanent restriction of funds linked to theft, fraud, terrorism, or sanctions violations.
- Wallet & Smart Contract Blacklisting: Blocking wallet addresses and contracts involved in rug pulls, fraud, terrorism financing, or sanctioned entities.
- On-Chain Reporting: Sharing compromised wallet addresses with blockchain security firms, exchanges, dApps, and law enforcement agencies.
- Legal Action: Working with authorities to pursue criminal and financial penalties against offenders.
AtlantisChain has ZERO tolerance for financial crimes and will take decisive action to protect its global users, developers, network integrity, and ecosystem security.
5. Policy Amendments
