Legal Framework & Compliance
OneWave is committed to operating as a fully transparent, secure, and regulation-aligned Web3 platform. With a global audience and a diverse utility ecosystem, our legal and compliance infrastructure is built to ensure that user protection, jurisdictional requirements, and international standards are met at every level of platform interaction.
🔐 AML/CTF Compliance
OneWave enforces a robust Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) policy across all services and jurisdictions in which it operates. This includes:
Mandatory KYC verification for users engaging in financial activities such as staking, trading, fiat ramps, forex integrations, and AI voice operations.
Continuous monitoring of wallet activity using blockchain analytics tools such as Chainalysis and internal smart contract logs.
Integration with regulated KYC providers for document verification and identity screening.
Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) protocols and escalation procedures aligned with FATF guidelines.
🌍 Data Protection & Privacy Compliance
User data privacy is at the core of our platform design. OneWave adheres to global data protection frameworks including:
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) – For European users, ensuring rights to data access, portability, and deletion.
CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) – For California residents, guaranteeing transparency in how data is collected, stored, and used.
DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre) – For UAE operations, ensuring compliance with cross-border transfer rules and lawful processing.
User data such as identity documentation, wallet addresses, transaction logs, AI interaction data, and learning platform progress are stored securely, with access limited to authorized internal functions and third-party processors strictly for platform operations.
🛡️ RWA (Real World Asset) Verification
The foundation of the OneWave presale and staking program is based on verifiable real-world assets including gold, silver, natural diamonds (GIA certified), and certified jewellery. These assets are:
Professionally appraised and certified, with all certificates auditable on request.
Stored with trusted third-party custodians, with evidence of holdings reviewed periodically by legal and financial oversight partners.
Matched against token issuance to ensure collateralization transparency.
This model enhances platform credibility and adds a layer of protection for both token holders and regulators.
⚖️ Non-Security Token Classification
The WAVE Token is intended to function as a utility token across the OneWave ecosystem, providing access to platform features such as staking, gaming, education, payments, governance, and AI services.
It is not structured to pay dividends or represent ownership in the company.
Token utility is defined through usage, not passive income guarantees or profit promises.
OneWave follows global best practices and consults legal counsel to ensure the WAVE Token does not fall under “security” classification in major jurisdictions.
This classification is reinforced by transparent tokenomics, ecosystem functionality, and the absence of investor-like benefit structures.
