Regulatory Compliance

Unit Protocol is a noncustodial, decentralized protocol for migrating native blockchain assets to the Hyperliquid blockchain network. The protocol is maintained by independent Guardian validators that collectively facilitate transactions through a multi-party consensus mechanism. The protocol also permits Guardians to independently implement compliance screening and decline to participate in reaching consensus on transactions that do not meet their respective standards.

Unit Labs is dedicated to adhering to all relevant regulatory standards and compliance requirements, ensuring the integrity and legality of its operations. In its capacity as a Guardian, Unit Labs utilizes blockchain analytics and intelligence software to screen wallet addresses interacting with the protocol. Unit Labs' Guardian validator will not propose or participate in reaching consensus on transactions from wallet addresses that do not pass its screening checks, which include addresses identified on the U.S. OFAC SDN List and other applicable sanctions lists. Each Guardian validator on the network operates independently and may apply its own compliance standards.

Unit Labs operates a noncustodial frontend located at app.hyperunit.xyz that is one of several means of accessing the Unit Protocol. This frontend implements IP-based geofencing to restrict access from Prohibited Jurisdictions, as defined in our Terms of Service. We may also use virtual private network (VPN) detection to further enforce these geographical restrictions. These access controls are applied at the frontend level, and Unit Labs makes no representations about other sites or platforms.

Users should understand that Unit Protocol is not a "mixer". It does not intentionally obfuscate the flow of assets migrating to or from Hyperliquid L1. A block explorer is available at https://explorer.hyperunit.xyz, and Unit Labs also maintains detailed records of network transactions. These records may be disclosed to law enforcement agencies in response to subpoenas or other valid legal process.

Data privacy is a top priority for Unit Labs. We collect minimal user data as described in our Privacy Policy and are committed to handling such limited data in accordance with applicable data protection standards, ensuring that information is managed with appropriate privacy and security measures. Unit Labs conducts periodic assessments of its practices to maintain and enhance its compliance measures, keeping its practices aligned with the evolving regulatory landscape.
