Marketplace Partners
When you list your agent on our partner marketplaces, you automatically receive a free on-chain identity and compliance passport via MerchantGuard:
The Problem
April 2026 VAMP deadline means 100,000+ merchants face $50K-500K freezes if they can't prove compliance.
Traditional verification takes weeks: 3 months of bank statements, manual review by PSPs, back-and-forth documentation requests. By the time you're approved, the deadline may have passed.
The Solution
Compliance NFTs prove you're freeze-safe. PSPs can verify on-chain instantly—no waiting, no paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a GuardScore™ Compliance NFT?
A GuardScore™ Compliance NFT is an on-chain proof of your payment compliance history. It's minted as an identity NFT on Arbitrum ($0.10 one-time) with quarterly achievement badges on Base ($0.02 each). PSPs can verify your compliance instantly by checking your wallet address.
Why do I need a compliance NFT?
With April 2026 VAMP enforcement, PSPs need proof you won't violate thresholds. Traditional methods require 3+ months of statements and manual verification. A compliance NFT provides instant, on-chain verification that you're freeze-safe, dramatically speeding up PSP approvals.
How much does it cost?
Identity NFT on Arbitrum: $0.10 (one-time mint). Quarterly achievement badges on Base: $0.02 each. Monthly IPFS updates: $0 (off-chain). Total first year cost: approximately $0.18 per merchant. This is 75% cheaper than pure on-chain solutions.
Which blockchains do you use?
We use a hybrid architecture: Arbitrum for immutable identity NFTs (one-time $0.10) and Base for quarterly achievement badges ($0.02 each). Monthly score updates happen via IPFS ($0). This saves 75% vs pure Arbitrum while maintaining security.
How do PSPs verify my compliance NFT?
PSPs can check your wallet address on Arbiscan or Basescan to instantly see your GuardScore™, compliance history, and achievement badges. They can also use our verification API. Your data is on-chain and cannot be faked or manipulated.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Only your GuardScore™ (0-100) and achievement badges are public on-chain. Sensitive business data (transaction counts, chargeback details) stays encrypted off-chain. You control who sees your NFT by setting visibility preferences.
