# Compliance

All reserve stablecoins must comply with relevant regulatory standards if fiat-backed where well-defined regulations exist in the issuing jurisdiction. As the legal landscape surrounding stablecoins is continuously developing, it will remain the Optim Labs' responsibility to monitor regulatory frameworks and analyze any significant changes with the help from our legal counsel and other industry experts.

* **Regulatory Adherence Score:**
  * Develop a compliance score based on adherence to major global regulatory standards (e.g., FATF, SEC) to monitor the potential need to update an assets' status as reserve collateral.
  * Continuously update compliance score as new regulations emerge.
