Following our recent announcement of Mesh Verify, we're excited to delve into the specific features that make this solution stand out. Today, we’ll explore the Satoshi Test, a gasless, embedded solution for verifying wallet ownership. This feature is essential for ensuring compliance with MiCA and the EBA Travel Rule Guidelines, providing a seamless and secure method for wallet verification.

What is the Satoshi Test?

The Satoshi Test is a method of verifying wallet ownership by requiring users to make a small, free-to-them deposit from their self-hosted wallet to their wallet on your platform. This process is designed to be simple and user-friendly, ensuring that users can easily verify their wallets without incurring any costs.

How the Satoshi Test Works

1. Initiation: The user initiates the verification process by selecting the Satoshi Test option on your platform.
2. Deposit: The user makes a micro-deposit from their self-hosted wallet to their wallet on your platform. The deposit amount is minimal—greater than the smallest denomination of the given crypto asset, but less than a penny—and serves as proof of ownership.
3. Verification: The platform verifies the deposit, confirming that the user owns the wallet. The process is gasless, meaning it incurs no transaction fees for the user, in compliance with MiCA and the EBA Travel Rule Guidelines.

Benefits of the Satoshi Test

1. User-Friendly: The Satoshi Test is designed to be simple and intuitive, requiring minimal effort from the user. The gasless nature of the test ensures that users are not burdened with additional costs.
2. Effective Verification: By verifying ownership through a small deposit, the Satoshi Test provides a robust and reliable method of confirming wallet ownership, aligning with MiCA and EBA Travel Rule Guidelines.
3. Regulatory Compliance: The Satoshi Test adheres to regulatory requirements, ensuring that your platform remains compliant with the latest legal standards.
4. Enhanced Security: Verifying wallet ownership through the Satoshi Test reduces the risk of unauthorized access and potential fraud, providing an additional layer of security for your platform.

Conclusion

The Satoshi Test is an innovative solution for wallet verification, offering a gasless, user-friendly method for confirming wallet ownership. By integrating the Satoshi Test into your platform, you can enhance security, ensure regulatory compliance with MiCA and the EBA Travel Rule Guidelines, and provide a seamless user experience. Mesh Verify’s Satoshi Test is a game-changer in the world of crypto transactions, offering a simple yet effective solution for wallet verification.
