Olga Matenko

Responsible for designing the legal wrapper and compliance processes for token distributions and exchange listings, including KYC/AML policies and jurisdictional sale restrictions. Drafted and negotiated legal documents used in fundraising rounds and service agreements with custodians and exchanges, thereby influencing the eligible investor base and secondary market availability of DUSK. Managed outreach to financial regulators and prepared responses to inquiries about privacy features and financial use cases, materially affecting which markets and counterparties were willing to engage with the project. Coordinated with external counsel on tax, securities and payments treatment of the token, resulting in documented compliance choices that were referenced by partners and exchanges during listing assessments. Built internal compliance tooling and reporting requirements for node operators and custodians, enabling institutional counterparties to perform due diligence and custody integrations. Those actions reduced frictions for institutional on‑ and off‑ramps, altered KYC‑driven liquidity pools and contributed to the token's institutional adoption path and the risk profile perceived by market participants.
