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.
