Travel Rule

Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 requires named originator and beneficiary information to travel with a crypto-asset transfer. FORCE populates what chain data can evidence and marks the rest as outstanding.

Held transfers

Where a required field is absent, the transfer is held and the reason is recorded against the packet reference. The reason maps one to one onto the reporting categories, so a held transfer can be explained to a supervisor without further reconstruction.

  • Missing beneficiary name is the most common reason and usually resolves once the counterparty VASP responds.
  • An unattributable beneficiary VASP cannot be resolved by asking; it needs a manual decision recorded against the case.
  • A counterparty on a sanctions list is not a held transfer but a blocked one, and carries a separate reporting obligation.

What this build does not do

FORCE does not operate a Travel Rule messaging channel. It prepares and validates the packet, and shows what is outstanding. Transmission to the counterparty VASP happens over whichever protocol your firm already uses.

A field FORCE cannot evidence is shown as missing, never as satisfied. Treating an unpopulated field as complete is the failure mode this screen exists to prevent.
