Most projects struggle when they try to bundle identity verification with compliance checks. The combo usually creates friction—things get slow, user experience tanks, and scalability becomes a nightmare.

But some infrastructure solutions are flipping that script. Instead of making compliance a bottleneck, they're pushing it into the background layer. Think of it like plumbing: nobody sees it, but everything flows smoother because it's there. The whole verification process becomes invisible to users while still keeping regulatory boxes checked.

That's the kind of architecture shift DeFi actually needs if we're serious about mainstream adoption.
