- Conduct comprehensive due diligence on blockchain projects and their associated tokens, including technical architecture, consensus mechanisms, and network protocols.

Why Compliance Matters in Crypto
The decentralized nature of blockchain technology empowers innovation—but also introduces significant regulatory challenges. Unlike traditional financial markets, the crypto space operates across borders with limited oversight, making it vulnerable to misuse if not properly governed.
That’s why compliance isn’t an afterthought at OKX—it’s embedded in every stage of product and listing development. The Token Listings Compliance team ensures that only high-integrity projects with transparent operations and legitimate use cases make it onto the platform. This protects users, maintains trust, and supports sustainable growth in the Web3 economy.
