DeFi compliance refers to the anti-money laundering, sanctions and risk management controls that apply when financial activity moves through decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. It covers how businesses identify illicit finance and meet evolving regulatory expectations when interacting with smart-contract-based services like decentralized exchanges (DEXs), lending protocols and cross-chain bridges.

DeFi explained simply: decentralized finance is a blockchain-based financial system where lending, trading, payments, asset management, and insurance run through smart contracts instead of banks, brokers, or payment processors. Most activity still centers on Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks, but the DeFi stack now spans Layer 2 rollups, bridges, stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, and AI-assisted automation.
