DEXs, exchanges and DeFi infrastructure face sanctions exposure, partner diligence pressure and personal liability — without the in-house compliance function to defend against any of it. I help operators build the posture that withstands review, from a productized audit to ongoing fractional leadership.
Three tiers, productized scopes, defensible deliverables.
A 3-business-day diagnostic across five domains — address screening, jurisdictional gating, counterparty exposure, frontend gating mechanics, incident response readiness. Board-ready report plus remediation tracker.
Sanctions Remediation Sprint · Risk Assessment Framework · Incident Response Playbook · Pre-Fundraise Compliance Package. Productized scopes, 3–6 weeks, defensible deliverables.
Ongoing compliance leadership for protocols not ready for a full-time hire. One to two days per week. Strategy, oversight, operational lift, and crisis-ready presence.
I'm Ignacio Milito, founder of Defensible Group. Previously a senior compliance practitioner at 1inch (Degensoft), one of the most regulator-engaged DeFi platforms in the market, with direct operating-grade exposure to sanctions, AML and incident-response practice in a DeFi context.
The Defensible Group is built around one belief: DeFi protocols can operate publicly and stay defensible when enforcement, partners or investors come asking. The work is helping operators get there — without compromising the operating model that makes the protocol work in the first place.
