Sentinel

Sentinel builds comprehensive compliance directly into the protocol, creating a foundation of trust for the entire Onta Network. This system enforces identity verification while preserving privacy through zero-knowledge technology.

Users complete a one-time verification process with trusted identity attesters, receiving verifiable credentials they control plus on-chain attestations that confirm their compliance status. The system monitors transactions at the protocol level, enabling verification, pattern detection, and risk control without compromising privacy.

Sentinel implements transparent transaction limits based on verification tier and jurisdiction, with protocol-level restrictions against sanctioned addresses while maintaining regulatory audibility. By building these compliance mechanisms directly into the infrastructure rather than relying on third parties, Sentinel creates an environment where trust is established through smart contracts, enabling global access while maintaining regulatory alignment.
