Summary: Netki is best understood as a compliance control plane that spans onboarding, Travel Rule workflows, and transaction-level policy enforcement for crypto operators rather than as a single KYC vendor. Its primary materials jointly expose OnboardID for identity and corporate onboarding, TransactID for Travel Rule compliance, and DeFi Sentinel for onchain policy gating through signed access tokens embedded into transactions. That mix makes Netki especially notable as a bridge between traditional customer-due-diligence workflows and smart-contract-era compliance enforcement.
What it does:
Provides OnboardID products for individual and corporate onboarding, document digitization, sanctions/watchlist/adverse-media screening, and compliance-dashboard review
Offers TransactID as a Travel Rule solution for blockchain transactions and positions it for both crypto businesses and traditional financial institutions working with digital assets
Offers DeFi Sentinel, which uses onchain and offchain data to make compliance decisions and then attaches a signed access token to the transaction so a smart contract can verify requirements were met
Keeps personal/compliance-sensitive data offchain while preserving an audit trail in its dashboard-oriented compliance workflow
Publishes case-study material claiming national-scale deployment during El Salvador’s Chivo wallet onboarding push

The corporate OnboardID page says teams can upload compliance documents, white-label a mobile app via SDKs, run sanctions/watchlist/adverse-media checks, and review results through a comprehensive compliance dashboard

Whitepaper: No canonical standalone Netki whitepaper or litepaper surfaced in this pass. The clearest current sources of truth were the official homepage, product pages for OnboardID / TransactID / DeFi Sentinel, and the company’s case-study material; see ../whitepapers/netki-primary-sources-2026-04-30.md.
