# Mandanchor

*/Startups/Mandanchor*

## Startup Overview

This compliance engine binds digital asset transactions directly to mandatory regulatory frameworks in real time. It monitors on-chain and off-chain data flows, mapping individual transfers to specific jurisdictional requirements without manual intervention.

Institutional trading desks and digital asset custodians face mounting pressure to prove transaction legitimacy across fragmented regulatory environments. Current processes rely on slow manual compliance reviews or rigid tracing tools that fail when confronted with non-standard transaction formats or new token protocols.

Unlike forensic investigation platforms such as Chainalysis or TRM Labs, the system is fully schema-agnostic and adapts instantly to diverse blockchain architectures. It automatically generates and attaches verifiable audit evidence natively to every transaction record, closing the gap between risk detection and regulatory reporting.

## Startup Landing Problem

**Cards**:
- Body: You spend hours manually exporting risk alerts from Chainalysis and trying to copy-paste them into a master spreadsheet that links to your specific ledger schema. This disconnect leaves gaps in your evidence trail and risks missing a mandatory regulatory mandate. · Heading: Mapping Chainalysis flags to Excel sheets
- Body: When auditors ask for proof of transaction monitoring, you submit a ticket to the engineering team for custom SQL queries. This creates a bottleneck that slows down SOC2 preparation and leaves you without real-time visibility into your compliance coverage. · Heading: Waiting on developer-built SQL reports
- Body: To satisfy travel rule requirements, your team writes individual justification memos for complex transactions. This manual workaround is impossible to scale and fails to provide the cryptographic certainty required by institutional partners during high-volume asset transfers. · Heading: Drafting manual memos for cross-border transfers
**Section Heading**: Manual compliance reviews are choking your exchange's transaction volume

## Startup Landing Faq

**Faqs**:
- Answer: The platform is schema-agnostic and ingests your custom transaction payloads directly. You do not need to build or maintain complex ETL pipelines to map your internal data to regulatory frameworks. · Question: What if my internal ledger uses a highly custom or proprietary data schema?
- Answer: Yes, because Mandanchor outputs cryptographic proofs formatted strictly to standard SOC2 and global audit frameworks. These proofs provide the granular, verifiable data that modern compliance teams and external auditors require for validation. · Question: Will external auditors and regulators actually accept this automated evidence?
- Answer: Chainalysis identifies wallet risk, but it does not document compliance. While screening tools flag suspicious actors, Mandanchor anchors the transaction itself to specific regulatory mandates and generates the required audit evidence for your records. · Question: We already use Chainalysis for wallet screening, so why do we need this?
- Answer: Setup is immediate because the engine requires zero-ETL ingestion. Once you upload your proprietary ledger format, the system begins mapping transactions and generating cryptographic audit evidence in under five seconds. · Question: How long does it take to integrate this into our current transaction flow?
- Answer: We provide a performance guarantee for every transaction. If the system fails to produce compliant, schema-agnostic audit evidence for a processed asset transfer within 5 seconds, we refund your entire processing fee for that month. · Question: What happens if the system fails to generate the evidence I need?
- Answer: No, the engine only requires the transaction ledger payload to map mandates. For teams with strict data residency requirements, we offer on-premise deployment options within the Enterprise Framework tier to keep all data within your infrastructure. · Question: Does this require us to send our private keys or sensitive customer data?
