Regional Availability

Etesia Research Inc. is the operating entity. It is not a regulated asset manager, and depositing into the vaults gives you none of the protections that come with investing in a regulated fund.

The public vault is a permissionless smart contract. There is no geographic gating and no KYC at the point of deposit. Whether you may lawfully use it is your own determination, and nothing on this site is an invitation directed at any particular jurisdiction.

The regulatory position of digital assets and onchain asset management is evolving. Changes in law or regulatory action could affect the availability or operation of these products in some jurisdictions.

Sanctions screening

We operate our vaults with Lagoon's Access Manager in blacklist mode, wired to an onchain sanctions list. Screening is enforced by the vault contract, so it applies to every deposit regardless of the interface used to submit it, and we cannot waive it for an individual address.

Lagoon documents the mechanism as follows: the Access Manager can "block specific addresses from interacting with the vault", can "integrate with a third-party on-chain sanctions list for automated compliance checks", and sanctioned addresses "are blocked regardless of the active access mode". Blacklist mode is set at vault creation rather than toggled afterwards. See Access Manager.

This addresses sanctions screening at the point of deposit. It is not a KYC programme and not a restricted-jurisdictions policy.
