Cosmos Cash
Summary
Cosmos Cash is a protocol designed to be regulatory compliant that offers the same guarantees as traditional banking
systems. Features that enable these guarantees are Know Your Customer (KYC), anti-money laundering (AML) tracking, Financial Action Task Force (FATF) travel rule, and identity management. Cosmos Cash uses a novel approach to identity management by leveraging W3C specifications
for decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials.

Architecture
The Cosmos Cash approach leverages open standards to reach its goals and to offer an open model that is compatible with
third-party projects that use the open standards. In particular, the Cosmos Cash project uses:
- Self-sovereign identity (SSI)
- Decentralized identifier (DID)
- Verifiable credentials (VC)
- Zero-knowledge proofs
