Strengthening Compliance and Institutional Trust
IOTA Partners with Lukka for On-Chain Analytics and Monitoring
TL;DR:
IOTA has partnered with Lukka, a leading blockchain analytics and compliance provider, to integrate real-time compliance monitoring, risk assessment, and forensic tools into the IOTA network. This enables institutional-grade AML, KYC, and regulatory reporting, removing barriers for exchanges, institutional investors, and regulated use cases like real-world asset tokenization and enterprise adoption.
Regulatory clarity and enterprise trust are critical for blockchain adoption. To meet these standards and expand support across regulated markets, IOTA has partnered with Lukka, a leading blockchain analytics and compliance provider.
Lukka first integrated with IOTA EVM earlier this year. Now, we’re pleased to announce its integration with the IOTA mainnet.
This collaboration brings a powerful layer of infrastructure to the IOTA ecosystem: real-time compliance monitoring, address risk scoring, transaction analysis, and forensic tools, all designed to support anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and global regulatory reporting requirements.
Lukka’s compliance and analytics services are now integrated into IOTA.
A Foundation Trusted by the Industry
Lukka is relied on by some of the most respected institutions in both traditional finance and crypto. Their client list includes J.P. Morgan, Circle, Coinbase, and S&P Dow Jones Indices, and their analytics platform currently supports over 100 blockchain protocols and monitors more than 46,000 entities.
By bringing Lukka’s tools to IOTA, the network now offers:
- Real-time monitoring of blockchain activity.
- Address-level risk assessment.
- Forensic tracking across digital assets.
- Support for compliance with the Travel Rule and other global standards.
- Compliance with the latest MiCa regulations for Financial Service providers in the EU.
This enables IOTA to meet the requirements of regulated entities, such as exchanges like Bitpanda, which requires compliance infrastructure in place for full token support.
Impact on Ecosystem Growth
For Web3 developers and startups building on IOTA, compliance is no longer a separate challenge to be solved later. Lukka’s infrastructure is available directly at the protocol layer, enabling builders to design applications for institutional or enterprise use from day one.
For token holders, this move supports broader exchange adoption and greater alignment with the compliance expectations of regulated platforms. It also lays the groundwork for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, institutional DeFi, and public sector integrations: key growth areas that require robust compliance by default.
Enterprises and financial institutions evaluating IOTA for integration now gain a clear signal: the network is equipped to meet regulatory expectations without compromising performance or innovation.
Integration and Availability
Lukka’s services are now fully integrated into the IOTA Mainnet and IOTA EVM, and leveraged by ecosystem participants over time. As compliance requirements evolve globally, this collaboration ensures IOTA remains aligned with the latest standards.
These tools will also support IOTA’s efforts to secure listings, launch enterprise pilots, and scale institutional applications.
Building for a Regulated, Scalable Future
As the next wave of blockchain adoption is expected to come from institutions, enterprises, and public sector entities, demand is shifting toward infrastructure that meets not only technical standards, but also legal and regulatory requirements.
This partnership with Lukka:
- Makes it easier for regulated entities to adopt and integrate IOTA
- Opens the door for institutional DeFi and real-world asset (RWA) applications
- Reduces friction for onboarding to centralized exchanges
- Signals to regulators, auditors, and traditional finance that IOTA is serious about compliance and security
Compliance isn't a barrier - it's a bridge. With Lukka’s support, we’re now equipped to cross it.
