This Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (“AML/CTF”) Policy sets out in detail the principles, controls, standards, and procedures by which Artifakt.tech (“Artifakt”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) seeks to prevent the misuse of its platform for money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, fraud, market manipulation, or any other form of financial or economic crime.
As a provider of blockchain-based minting infrastructure and NFT-related services, Artifakt recognises that digital assets may be vulnerable to abuse due to their borderless nature, speed of transfer, and pseudonymous characteristics. Accordingly, we adopt a conservative, risk-aware, and compliance-driven approach that is aligned with international best practices and regulatory expectations.
While Artifakt does not operate as a custodian, bank, or traditional financial institution, we nonetheless acknowledge our responsibility to implement robust preventative measures and to cooperate fully with competent authorities where required. This Policy applies to all users, creators, collectors, counterparties, employees, contractors, and officers associated with Artifakt.
The purpose of this Policy is to establish a comprehensive framework designed to deter, detect, and respond to actual or attempted money laundering, terrorist financing, and related illicit activity conducted through or in connection with the Artifakt platform.
Artifakt operates a digital asset minting and infrastructure platform enabling the creation, sale, transfer, and interaction with non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) and related blockchain-based assets. This Policy applies to all platform features, smart contracts, wallet interactions, and payment flows supported or facilitated by Artifakt, whether directly or indirectly.
Artifakt.tech designs, maintains, and evolves its AML/CTF program to align with applicable laws, regulations, and internationally recognised standards. These include, but are not limited to, the following frameworks and guidance:
Artifakt reserves the right to apply controls, restrictions, and safeguards that exceed minimum legal requirements where our internal risk assessments, payment partners, or regulatory expectations indicate that enhanced measures are appropriate.
Artifakt applies a formal risk-based approach (“RBA”) to AML/CTF compliance. Under this approach, the nature, extent, and intensity of due diligence measures are proportionate to the level of risk presented by a given user, wallet, transaction, or activity.
In assessing risk, Artifakt may consider a wide range of factors, including but not limited to:
Where heightened risk is identified, Artifakt may apply enhanced due diligence (“EDD”), impose additional restrictions, require supplementary information, or decline to provide services altogether.
The following activities are strictly prohibited on, through, or in connection with the Artifakt platform. This list is illustrative and not exhaustive:
Engagement in prohibited activity may result in immediate suspension, restriction, or termination of access, freezing of platform functionality, and reporting to competent authorities where required or permitted by law.
Artifakt performs Know Your Customer (“KYC”) and, where applicable, Know Your Business (“KYB”) checks using trusted, reputable, and regulated third-party identity verification providers. These checks form a core component of our AML/CTF controls.
KYC or KYB verification may be required, without limitation:
Verification may include one or more of the following, depending on risk level:
Artifakt does not permit the use of false, misleading, anonymous, or third-party identities. Failure to complete verification to Artifakt's satisfaction may result in denial or withdrawal of access to the platform.
KYC and KYB are not necessarily one-time processes. Artifakt may conduct ongoing monitoring and periodic re-verification to ensure that user information remains accurate and that evolving risk factors are addressed. Where a user's risk profile changes, additional due diligence may be required.
Artifakt may employ blockchain analytics, wallet screening, and transaction intelligence tools to identify, assess, and manage risk associated with blockchain addresses interacting with the platform.
Wallets identified as presenting elevated or unacceptable risk may be restricted, blocked, or escalated for enhanced review.
Artifakt monitors platform activity on an ongoing basis to identify suspicious, unusual, or anomalous behaviour. Monitoring may include both automated systems and manual review processes.
Where suspicious activity is identified, Artifakt may request additional information, impose restrictions, suspend activity, or report matters to relevant authorities, as appropriate.
Artifakt screens users, wallets, and counterparties against applicable sanctions lists, including those issued by OFAC (US), OFSI (UK), the European Union, and the United Nations.
Artifakt maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy for sanctions violations and will deny or terminate access where sanctioned exposure is identified.
Artifakt may restrict or prohibit access from jurisdictions identified by FATF or other authorities as high-risk, non-cooperative, or subject to comprehensive sanctions. These determinations may be updated periodically.
Artifakt retains relevant AML/CTF records, including KYC/KYB information, transaction logs, wallet screening results, and investigation records, for a minimum of five (5) years or longer where required by law.
Artifakt maintains internal governance structures to ensure AML/CTF accountability, including designated compliance responsibility, escalation procedures, and internal oversight. Relevant personnel receive AML/CTF awareness training appropriate to their role and responsibilities.
Artifakt reserves the right, in its sole discretion and where permitted by law, to refuse service, restrict access, suspend or terminate accounts, delay or block transactions, and report activity to law enforcement or regulatory authorities.
This Policy is reviewed at least annually and may be updated to reflect regulatory changes, evolving risks, industry best practices, or changes to Artifakt's services. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of the most current version of this Policy.
