2/ First, we will focus on the testing aspect:
There are two ways of testing the Veriscope API! These are :
Postman Collection ✅
Sandbox Environment ✅
Note: The testing stage will come only after downloading Veriscope 💡

3/ To begin testing, VASPs (read = crypto businesses) must log in to the Web application after downloading Veriscope.
And then, VASPs can choose either the Postman Collection or Sandbox Environment to conduct testing.

1/ We have reached the 7th part of the Veriscope campaign. This is also the last of the campaign.
And today, we will give you an end-to-end walkthrough on how VASPs can install, test, and get onboarded onto Veriscope. 👀

2/ But for now, we will only look into the installation part. Let’s start.
We must visit the Veriscope Github repo to begin the Veriscope installation process 👇
docs.veriscope.network/docs/3.0.0/ins…
The repo consists of a complete installer with components to download Veriscope.

3/ The first thing VASPs (read: crypto businesses) need now is access to a server.
However, the server must:
Be connected to specific internet ports. ✅
Have a domain name system (DNS) pointed towards it to translate the domain name into a machine-readable format. ✅

Today, we will discuss the transaction workflow consideration from a VASP's viewpoint.
Let's start. Shall we? 👀
So, here we go:

So, here we go:
2/ Both Originator VASPs & Beneficiary VASPs have to do the following throughout the transaction workflow for Travel Rule compliance.
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.

Previously we discussed how Shyft Veriscope enables VASPs (read: #crypto businesses) to share user data securely.
Today, we will talk about how and why, outside Shyft Veriscope, the approach of facilitating user data between VASPs isn’t up to mark.

2/ However, we will discuss it in two parts.
Where do we start?
Straight from the fact that the current state of Travel Rule compliance is sub-optimal at best.
Why?
❌ Wrongful interpretation of FATF recommendations

3/ This leads to:
❌ Significant data privacy & security risks
❌ Higher chance of fraud
❌ Decreased operational efficiency

3/ Address attribution basically means accurately verifying the beneficiary VASP’s wallet address 🔎
Why is it important❓👇🏼
It enables VASPs (read = #crypto businesses) to verify whether the counterparty VASP is indeed the correct party or not.

3/ Veriscope Shares come into the picture after an Originator VASP (oVASP) where the transaction starts 📤 posts attestation on the Shyft Network, and a relevant counterparty VASP proves they own the wallet address where the transaction is heading to 📥

2) It all starts with a customer requesting to withdraw his funds from a VASP (read: crypto business). 👀
Before we move forward, let's understand a few terms:
The VASP that the customer withdraws funds from is called Originating VASP or oVASP.

3) And the VASP receiving the funds from the Originating VASP is called Beneficiary VASP or bVASP.
Now, when a customer requests to withdraw his funds from oVASP, the oVASP sends an attestation to the Shyft Network.

2) Shyft Discover enables VASPs (Read: #crypto businesses) to discover VASPs & do address attribution. 🔍
All that VASPs require to search for their counterparty VASPs is a wallet address & Shyft Discover will auto-detect their counterparty VASP based on it.

Think of RESTful APIs as a mechanism that enables VASPs (read: #crypto businesses) to exchange data between them securely over the web.
And they grant an impressive deal of flexibility to VASPs.

1) Although published in 2019, very few countries have enforced the #FATF Travel Rule till now!
But that will change soon as ⚠️ Crypto #regulations are discussed at as high a level as the #G20.
And #Shyft will be there to educate policymakers and look for regulatory solutions.
