Alice wants to send stablecoins to a wallet on another exchange. Before the transfer can go through, her VASP has to run a Mandala compliance check with whichever VASP controls the destination wallet — but a wallet address alone doesn’t say who owns it.
Mandala resolves this in up to two steps: first a private check inside its own network, and only if that fails, a lookup against directories the rest of the industry already uses.
Your VASP scrambles the address and routes the sealed question to every Mandala member at once. Each one stamps a sealed answer with its own key — never seeing the address itself.
Directories like Notabene, Sygnabridge, and Coinbase TRUST already hold hashed-address lookup tables that many VASPs publish to — Mandala member or not. Your VASP checks all of them at once; no locks needed, just a plain hash lookup.
