Summary: IOTA has entered into a partnership with Lukka, a leading provider of blockchain analytics and compliance services, to integrate real-time compliance monitoring, risk assessment, and forensic tools into the IOTA network. This ensures institutional-level AML, KYC, and regulatory reporting, removing barriers for exchanges, institutional investors, and regulated use cases such as real asset tokenization and corporate sector adoption.
Clarity of regulation and trust from enterprises are crucial for blockchain adoption. To meet these standards and expand support in regulated markets, IOTA has partnered with Lukka, a leading provider of blockchain analytics and compliance services.
Lukka first integrated with IOTA EVM earlier this year. We are now pleased to announce its integration with the IOTA mainnet.
This collaboration adds a powerful layer of infrastructure to the IOTA ecosystem: real-time compliance monitoring, address risk assessment, transaction analysis, and forensic tools designed to support anti-money laundering (AML), know your customer (KYC) compliance, and global regulatory reporting requirements.
Lukka's compliance and analytics services are now integrated into IOTA.
A fund trusted by the industry
Lukka is trusted by some of the most respected institutions in both traditional finance and cryptocurrencies. Their clients include J.P. Morgan, Circle, Coinbase, and S&P Dow Jones indices, and their analytical platform currently supports over 100 blockchain protocols and tracks more than 46,000 organizations.
By implementing Lukka's tools, the IOTA network now offers:
Real-time blockchain activity monitoring.
Risk assessment at the address level.
Forensic tracking of digital assets.
Support for compliance with the Travel Rule and other international standards. Compliance with the latest MiCa requirements for financial service providers in the EU.
This enables IOTA to meet the requirements of regulated organizations, such as exchanges like Bitpanda, which need infrastructure to ensure compliance for full token support.
Impact on ecosystem growth
For Web3 developers and startups working on IOTA, compliance is no longer a separate task requiring a future solution. Lukka's infrastructure is available directly at the protocol level, allowing developers to build applications for institutional or enterprise use from day one.
For token holders, this step promotes broader exchange adoption and greater compliance with regulated platforms. It also lays the groundwork for the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), institutional DeFi, and integration with the public sector: key growth areas that require strict compliance by default.
Enterprises and financial institutions considering IOTA for integration now receive a clear signal: the network is ready to comply with regulators without sacrificing performance or innovation.
Integration and availability
Lukka's services are now fully integrated into the IOTA mainnet and IOTA EVM and will be used by ecosystem participants over time. As global compliance requirements evolve, this partnership ensures IOTA meets the latest standards.
These tools will also support IOTA's efforts for listing, launching pilot corporate projects, and scaling institutional applications.
Building a regulated, scalable future
As the next wave of blockchain adoption is expected to come from institutions, enterprises, and public sector organizations, the demand shifts towards infrastructure that meets not only technical standards but also legal and regulatory requirements.
This partnership with Lukka:
Simplifies the implementation and integration of IOTA for regulated organizations;
Opens opportunities for institutional DeFi applications and real-world asset (RWA) applications;
Reduces complexities in connecting to centralized exchanges;
Signals to regulators, auditors, and traditional financial companies IOTA's serious commitment to compliance and security;
Compliance is not a hurdle, but a bridge. With Lukka's support, we are now ready to cross it.
