SEOUL, South Korea — Flowra, the open orderflow auction and validator infrastructure platform for Solana, has announced a collaboration with compliance infrastructure provider Honeypot to embed sanctions and risk screening directly into the block-building process.
The integration combines Honeypot’s compliance intelligence with Flowra’s Programmable Block Policy (PBP), enabling institutional validators to define compliance rules that govern which transactions and bundles can be included during block construction.
The framework supports screening against sanctions-related criteria, including wallet addresses associated with sanctioned entities, as well as network-level indicators such as VPNs, proxy services, and Tor exit nodes. These methods account for an estimated 31–61% of traffic arriving through network obfuscation. The system is also designed to accommodate additional enterprise compliance providers over time.
Each validator will define its own policy, preserving validator autonomy while offering operators greater flexibility over block-building decisions.
“Public blockchains have become increasingly attractive to institutional participants, but the infrastructure hasn’t evolved to give validators the compliance controls many regulated operators expect,” said Harry Hwang, CEO of Flowra. “We’re working with Honeypot to bring compliance into the block-building process itself, allowing validators to define and enforce their own policies before transactions are included on-chain. The goal isn’t to make the network less open, it’s to give individual validators the flexibility to operate in a way that reflects their own requirements.”
The collaboration will initially focus on sanctions screening, wallet screening, and auditability for regulated institutions, with additional technical details to be shared as implementation progresses.
