The platform is built in memory-safe Rust, deployed in distroless containers at the customer's data center, and includes built-in access to the TRUST network and the open TRP protocol. It also invented AOPP (Address Ownership Proof Protocol) for 1-click wallet ownership verification.

The platform consists of interconnected modules: the main 21 Travel Rule solution handles VASP-to-VASP transactions and self-hosted wallet verification; AOPP (Address Ownership Proof Protocol), invented by 21 Analytics, provides 1-click automated wallet verification; the Satoshi Test and Signature/Visual Proof methods offer alternative verification approaches; TRUST Network Access enables connectivity to major global exchanges; and TRP Support provides open-standard interoperability. The 21 Compliance Dashboard serves as the user interface for managing all transactions, proofs, and compliance workflows. Pricing is structured in Essentials and Enterprise tiers.
