Whitelisting

German: Whitelisting

Restricting a token so that only addresses linked to verified, eligible holders can receive or hold it, enforcing off-chain onboarding decisions at protocol level.

Why people look this up

Compliance readers checking whether whitelisting satisfies AML duties; it does not, it only enforces them.

Auf Deutsch

Whitelisting — Die Beschränkung eines Tokens auf Adressen geprüfter und zulässiger Inhaber, wodurch außerhalb der Chain getroffene Aufnahmeentscheidungen auf Protokollebene durchgesetzt werden.

Looking for how this maps to its traditional-finance counterpart rather than a standalone definition? See the Term Bridge, which also flags where the obvious analogy is wrong.
