DeFi can meet institutional requirements without turning front-ends into custodians. This talk distills what we’ve built at 1inch to make institutional-grade real: (1) Policy Presets that flip on disclosures, event logging, geo/permitted-issuer filters, sanctions checks, and reporting with one flag; (2) an Evidence Pack API that exports signed route/fee/risk/consent bundles for auditors; and (3) a public Transparency Portal with RouteProof attestations for routing logic and price sources together with new shared liquidity protocols Aqua. Attendees leave with schemas, failure modes, and operational guardrails (LE response, incident evidence, execution-discretion minimization) they can implement immediately.
