1/ Part 2(4)

After learning about Shyft Discover, it's time to explore Veriscope Share! ๐Ÿ‘€

Because โš ๏ธ Veriscope Share is the second integral part of Shyft Veriscope's Travel Rule infrastructure. So, let's begin!
2/ In this ๐Ÿงต, we will understand the Veriscope Share in detail.ย 

If you've missed our ๐Ÿงต on the basics of Veriscope Share, check it here๐Ÿ‘‡



It will help you understand how Veriscope Share works more easily.
3/ Veriscope Shares come into the picture after an Originator VASP (oVASP) where the transaction starts ๐Ÿ“ค posts attestation on the Shyft Network, and a relevant counterparty VASP proves they own the wallet address where the transaction is heading to ๐Ÿ“ฅ
4/ VASPs = crypto service providers!

Originator VASP (oVASP) = The crypto business whose customer has requested a withdrawal.

And the attestations contain user data that had been encrypted through a public key. ๐Ÿ”‘
5/ Think of attestation as a secret vault that consists of critical data that can only be unlocked by the oVASPsโ€™ key ๐Ÿ”

Check below if you are wondering what Attestations are๐Ÿ‘‡

6/ Once oVASP posts attestation on Shyft Network, relevant beneficiary VASP (bVASP) can share Address Proofs to prove they own the crypto wallet address.

bVASP = The crypto business where the customer is sending funds from oVASP.
7/ Now, the oVASP will first encrypt their user data through their public keyย ๐Ÿ”‘ย 

And then, they will share the KYC template, signature data, and encrypted user KYC data with bVASP.

Signature data = key that counterparty VASP can use to encrypt their user dataย ๐Ÿ”‘
8/ Now, it's bVASP's turn to encrypt its user data with a public key.

After doing that, bVASP shares the encrypted user data & KYC template with the oVASP.
9/ oVASP now scans the information the bVASP has sent and conducts relevant checks like name screening ๐Ÿ”

After that, they can either accept the bVASP's request โœ… or reject it โŒ

If they reject the request, the process will end then & there.
10/ If oVASP accepts it, they will now have to send the relevant information along with the KYC template to bVASP.

So now, the ball is in the bVASP's court ๐Ÿ€
11/ bVASP now begins decoding the encrypted user data & conducts relevant checks like name screening.ย 

If they find everything alright, they can accept oVASP's request โœ…ย 

If not, they can reject it. โŒ
12/ If the bVASP rejects it, there will be no further steps & the process will end there.

But if the bVASP accepts oVASP's KYC template, they will have to send their user's KYC to the oVASP.
13/ Seeing that, the oVASP will process the withdrawal ๐Ÿ‘€ย 

And with this, the oVASP to bVASP transaction will be recorded on-chain.
14/ Thatโ€™s it for today, we will be back with another Veriscope campaign Twitter thread soon.ย 

In the meantime, leave your comments below, in case if you have any & we will respond to them asap! ๐Ÿ‘‹

1/ With 2022 almost at its end, now is a good time to know about crypto regulations worldwide, starting with Asia.

And it goes without saying Asia is a major player in the global #crypto market ๐ŸŒ

After all, Asia accounts for 43% of global crypto activity. ๐Ÿ“ˆ
2/ However, the regulatory landscape for #crypto in Asia is complex and varied, with different approaches taken by different countries.ย 

For example, Japan ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต and South Korea ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท have heavily regulated the crypto industry and even legally recognize them.
3/ In contrast, some other countries in the region, such as China ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ & Bangladesh ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฉ, have taken a stricter stance, banning cryptocurrencies altogether.ย 

India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ, on the other hand, has adopted a โ€œWait & Watchโ€ approach.

After BitLicense & a 2-year moratorium on PoW mining, New York State has come up with another proposed #crypto regulation. ๐Ÿ“œ

And according to many, it might impede the growth of the #blockchain industry in New York. โš ๏ธ
But state authorities believe otherwise.ย 

In fact, they think this #regulations would only strengthen the industry. ๐Ÿค
This time, The New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) has proposed a Virtual Currency License Assessment bill asking the state to collect fees from #crypto businesses. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Yes, you read that right!ย 

And for what exactly? ๐Ÿค”

1) Part 2(3)

Having understood the basics of Shyft Discover & Veriscope Share, it's time to understand how VASPs use them!ย 

However, for today, we will only focus on Shyft Discoverโ€™s workflow. Let's go.
2) It all starts with a customer requesting to withdraw his funds from a VASP (read: crypto business). ๐Ÿ‘€

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.

1) Part 2(2)

It's time to get to know about Shyft Discover & Veriscope Share! ๐Ÿ‘€

These two are integral parts of the Shyft Veriscope's Travel Rule infrastructure.

So, what's the exact role of Shyft Discover & Veriscope Share? ๐Ÿค” Let's see.
2) Shyft Discover enables VASPs (Read: #crypto businesses) to discover VASPs & do address attribution. ๐Ÿ”

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.

1) Part 2/1

Having covered the basics of Shyft Veriscope last week, it's time to go up a notch and understand it in a bit more detail. ๐Ÿ‘€

However, we will keep it simple and cover various key segments of Shyft Veriscope over the next few days.

So, here we go.๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ
2) Let's first refresh on what Shyft Veriscope is!

It is an end-to-end solution to comply with the #crypto Travel Rule. ๐Ÿ’ก

Shyft Veriscope comes with:

โœ… RESTful APIsย 
โœ… Webhooks
3) What are RESTful APIs? ๐Ÿค”

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) Nigeria ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌย seeks to draw a clear line between #cryptocurrencies & digital assets.

With this, it joins the likes of South Korea ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท, Hong Kong ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ, and Singapore ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ.

According to them:

Digital assets = stablecoins, #NFTs, and CBDCs
Cryptocurrencies = #Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc
2) This development comes from the head of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission, Lamisil Yuguda.

The Nigerian SEC isn't really enthusiastic about the proliferation of #crypto assets within the country's borders.
3) And this reflects in its instructions to local banks not to provide services to companies engaged in crypto activities.

However, #crypto isn't banned in the country. โš ๏ธ
