How Compliance Is Enforced

• Nest is built on Plume, which enforces onchain AML screening for every wallet.

• Wallets interacting with Nest—whether via the app or directly with smart contracts—are screened for:

  • Sanction violations

  • Known illicit actors

  • High-risk jurisdictions

• If a wallet fails screening, transactions are automatically rejected by the sequencer.
