Address Ownership Portal Improvements

The Address Ownership Portal has received several updates aimed at simplifying wallet ownership verification and improving the experience for end users.

A number of enhancements have been made to Ledger hardware wallet interactions, making the verification process smoother and more reliable. 

Expired Satoshi Test Proofs are now clearly identified within the interface, providing better visibility into proof status and improving the user experience for users and compliance teams.

To further streamline the process, users can now restart expired Satoshi Tests with a single click. Additional validation checks have also been introduced to prevent the submission of Satoshi Test base amounts that fall below operational thresholds, reducing errors and failed verification attempts.

Expanded Branding Controls

Address Ownership Portal customisation capabilities have also been extended.

VASPs can now manage portal themes and logos directly from the settings menu, making it easier to align the Address Ownership Portal with their existing brand identity and customer experience standards.

Enhanced Audit Trails and Data Management

Strong audit trails are essential for effective Travel Rule compliance and regulatory record keeping.

With Version 8.2.0, historical counterparty VASP information is now retained even when a VASP is removed from the network registry. Rather than being deleted, removed counterparties are clearly marked as “REMOVED”, ensuring that due diligence history and transaction records remain available for future reference and audits.

This enhancement provides greater transparency and helps compliance teams maintain complete historical records throughout the lifecycle of their compliance activities.

Improved TRUST and Counterparty Handling

Several improvements have been made to TRUST-related workflows and counterparty transaction handling.

User-facing feedback and error messages have been refined to provide clearer guidance when protocol exchange issues occur, including scenarios involving legal personality mismatches. These improvements help users identify and resolve issues more quickly, reducing delays during Travel Rule exchanges.

TRUST certificate configuration has also been updated to improve transparency and configuration reliability, supporting smoother interactions between counterparties and strengthening operational confidence.
