# Travel Rule Implementation for Stablecoin Transfers: Technical Guide for VASPs

The FATF Travel Rule (Recommendation 16) requires VASPs to share originator/beneficiary information for transfers above $1,000 (EU: EUR 1,000 under TFR). For stablecoin businesses, this is operationally complex because blockchain transactions are pseudonymous. Cover the implementation stack: 1) Counterparty VASP discovery — how to identify which VASP controls a destination address (TRISA directory, Notabene network, Sygna Bridge). 2) Information exchange protocol — what data to share (originator name, account number, address; beneficiary name, account number), secure transmission via encrypted channels. 3) Sunrise issue — what happens when the counterparty does not support Travel Rule (unhosted wallets, non-compliant VASPs). Solutions: risk-based approach, enhanced due diligence for unhosted wallets, transaction limits. Compare Travel Rule solutions: Notabene (largest network, 170+ VASPs, REST API), Sygna Bridge (strong in Asia), OpenVASP (open protocol, decentralized). Include integration architecture and handling edge cases.
