We must visit the Veriscope Github repo to begin the Veriscope installation process 👇

Name Screening 🔍
Wallet Screening 🔍
Know Your VASP 🔍
Transaction threshold 🔍

3/ Now, let's look at three unique situations that Originator VASPs find themselves in a while complying with the Travel Rule.
We will see these situations one by one and get to know what options do VASPs have.
You be the judge and decide which of the options is better. ⚖️

Starting from where we left off - Veriscope User Data Exchange.
Case-3: oVASP shares both originator & beneficiary data with the bVASP
🚨 In this case, the same issues that we saw in case -2 yesterday may crop up here as well.

2/ 🚨 Resultantly, bVASP will reject the #crypto transaction due to an information mismatch.
Once the transaction is rejected, oVASP will inform the originator 📩
And then, quite naturally, the originator will take this up with the beneficiary.

3/ ⚠️ This will cause friction between the originator & beneficiary!
Frustrated by the failed transaction, the originator may then escalate the matter to oVASP’s customer support 📞💥
This puts a strain on oVASP customer support capacity.

Where do we start?
Straight from the fact that the current state of Travel Rule compliance is sub-optimal at best.
