Jurisdiction Controls

Fractit enforces jurisdiction restrictions at both the onboarding layer and the Canton contract layer.


Restricted jurisdictions

US persons and entities are not permitted to access this product.

Additional restricted jurisdictions may be added in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and sanctions regimes. The current list of restricted jurisdictions is enforced at:

  1. Onboarding — jurisdiction is checked during KYC. Users in restricted jurisdictions cannot complete onboarding and will not be whitelisted.

  2. Contract layer — Canton's compliance module checks jurisdiction status on every transfer. A wallet associated with a restricted jurisdiction cannot receive tokens even if it was previously whitelisted.


How restrictions are enforced

Jurisdiction restrictions are not UI-level controls. They are encoded in the DAML compliance module on Canton Network. This means:

  • Restrictions cannot be bypassed by interacting with contracts directly

  • A change in a user's jurisdiction status (e.g. sanctions designation) can trigger automatic transfer restriction at the contract level

  • New jurisdictions can be added to the restricted list and enforced immediately on-chain


Future markets

As Fractit expands to new index markets — ALDREIT (Abu Dhabi), SGREIT (Singapore), and HKREIT (Hong Kong) — each product will carry its own jurisdiction controls mapped to the regulatory requirements of that market. The same on-chain enforcement model applies across all products.
