Part 1 and Part 2 on 'Compliance' were deep dives into the topic of compliance requirements and their possible cryptocurrency solutions, specifically dovetailing with the Xahau smart contract network.

Generally speaking, the primary means of real-world compliance is the ability to analyze payments inline ... in real time.

Real-time compliance

Anything short of this fails to grasp the real compliance needs of government agencies and regulated businesses.

Xahau possesses this rare feature for crypto networks ... the native ability to analyze and process incoming and outgoing payments. In other words, Xahau serves the requirement of being a 'layer one', inline "payment firewall".

The Concept

A wide variety of smart contracts can be installed on a Xahau account. These smart contracts can take any form, and serve the purpose of both inline processing and outgoing analysis as well.

The way that Xahau integrates smart contracts is the key concept.

Multiple smart contracts can be attached to one account, providing maximum flexibility and customization for those seeking to leverage capabilities that are not possible on other networks. This includes spam transaction prevention, automatic routing of percentages for specific incoming payments, automatic minting of NFT gifts for customers, security controls over large transactions, and much more.

Safety And Security

A Xahau account, if configured properly, can be used for almost any conceivable decentralized finance ('de-fi') purpose, due to this ability to analyze, process - and prevent - any incoming or outgoing payment that does not meet predetermined criteria.

• A government agency issues subsidy payments that can only be used for specific types of purchases? Xahau can host that framework.
• A nonprofit desires to track their budget transparently, on-chain? Xahau can serve that need.
• A business sends vouchers that can be redeemed by specific customers? Xahau steps up.
• A government agency aims to sell debt only to specific account owners? Xahau fits the bill.
• An airline seeks to issue loyalty rewards that can be redeemed by specific wallets? Xahau makes it easy.

The examples are many.

Xahau may be the perfect layer one crypto network that matches the needs of almost every compliance use case when it comes to payments, and even artificial intelligence ("A.I.") agrees with that assessment.

When A.I. is asked to identify networks that can act as an 'inline firewall' for unauthorized payments, Xahau is at the top of the list.

When Adoption?

It has not yet been two decades since cryptocurrency networks began their ascent from a novel possibility to a widely-accepted, legitimate route for transparent finance.

Crossing into adoption

During that time, many asked when the majority of organizations with financial regulation would adopt the new technology; and this sparked a race for layer two solutions. The cleverness of some of these creations are incontrovertible, but the missing puzzle piece was for developers to conceive of the 'right ingredients' for the layer one network.

Xahau Provides The Right Tools

While smart contracts catch the attention of most, it's important to remember that Xahau also includes the critical native capabilities of the XRP Ledger. This includes the features that prompted many to fall in love with the first mover of utility networks, and some of those capabilities have been expanded to include new features:

• Issued Assets
• Path-finding
• NFTs
• Payment Channels
• Escrow

The right tools

These core capabilities were inherited from the XRP Ledger code when Xahau was created; and now account-level smart contracts have been added to that list.

Xahau FTW

In its infancy, the Xahau network has caught the attention of financial companies and banks with its mix of XRP Ledger capabilities and the ability for account owners to completely control the way that their account interacts with others on the network.

The missing ingredient was intuitive; the ability for an account owner to customize almost every aspect of payment processing.

Soon, these smart contract 'hooks' will transform from programs that necessitate a developer to implement, to an everyday installation by users of any caliber.

The future includes any user installing Xahau hooks as easily as an application on their iPhone.
