Qdacverify – The CLARITY Act Verification Identity for Qualified Digital Asset Custodians (.com + .eth)
Intro Paragraph:
Qdacverify is the verification identity built for the most consequential custody requirement in the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Under Section 402 and Section 405 of the CLARITY Act — Senate Substitute Text EHF26374 MSS, markup confirmed May 14, 2026 — every Futures Commission Merchant holding customer digital assets must use a Qualified Digital Asset Custodian (QDAC), and every QDAC must meet specific standards for licensing, examination, capital requirements, recordkeeping, and customer asset protection.
Qdacverify.com/.eth is the Convergence Identity for the institutional infrastructure that verifies QDAC compliance — the namespace that connects federal custody requirements with on-chain verification capability. As the definitive Qualified Digital Asset Custodian verification identity, qdacverify.com/.eth provides the domain foundation for the QDAC compliance verification standard that every FCM, digital commodity exchange, and digital commodity broker must implement under the CLARITY Act.

CLARITY Act Senate Committee vote advances QDAC mandate toward federal law
The CLARITY Act's 15-9 Senate Banking Committee approval brings the QDAC mandate of Section 402 significantly closer to becoming federal law. Every FCM must now accelerate its QDAC compliance preparation — the CFTC will have 180 days from enactment to establish the expedited QDAC registration process.

The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act — Section 402 and Section 405 — establishes the Qualified Digital Asset Custodian as a mandatory compliance requirement for all registered digital asset intermediaries.
Section 402 requires futures commission merchants to hold customers’ digital assets in a qualified digital asset custodian — no workarounds, no self-custody exceptions for FCMs. A QDAC must be regulated by a federal, state, or appropriate foreign governmental authority and subject to adequate supervision for digital asset custodial activities including licensing, examination, capital requirements, recordkeeping, disclosure requirements, and customer asset protection.
The CFTC has 180 days from enactment to establish the expedited registration process for QDACs. The existing custodians are given a transition period of at least two years to comply — making the QDAC verification standard one of the most time-critical compliance requirements introduced by the CLARITY Act. The FinCEN AML/CFT Program Reform NPRM of April 7, 2026 further requires that all digital asset custodians maintain effective AML/CFT programs — adding a second verification layer to QDAC compliance. qdacverify holds the namespace for the infrastructure that makes both verifications possible simultaneously.
Pillar 2 — The Problem Solved
Every Futures Commission Merchant, digital commodity exchange, and digital commodity broker operating under the CLARITY Act faces the same critical compliance question: how do they verify — to regulators, counterparties, and clients — that their custodian meets the QDAC standard? qdacverify.com is the institutional answer — the compliance portal, the verification API endpoint, and the legal brand for the infrastructure that produces documented QDAC compliance evidence.
Qdacverify.eth is the on-chain complement — an ENS-resolvable endpoint where QDAC verification attestations can be stored as immutable, auditable records on distributed ledger infrastructure. Institutional-grade QDAC infrastructure requires cold/hot asset separation, multi-party computation or multi-signature architecture, real-time anomaly monitoring, and SOC 2 Type II audit readiness.
Qdacverify provides the namespace identity for the verification layer that documents all four requirements simultaneously — in both Web2 and Web3. No existing domain combines the CLARITY Act QDAC standard with institutional-grade verification infrastructure as directly and memorably as qdacverify.
Pillar 3 — System Integration
Qdacverify is the custody verification core of the PillarsX CLARITY Act namespace. It connects directly to coveredcustodian.com/.eth — the OCC-regulated qualified custody standard that complements the CFTC QDAC framework — and to mcicustody.com/.eth as the MCI custody identity that operates in parallel under the BIS prudential framework.
Beyond the custody cluster, qdacverify integrates with fheverify.com as the FHE-based privacy-preserving verification layer, dvpverify.com/.eth as the DVP settlement verification standard, and verificationcontrol.com as the overarching verification governance namespace.
An institution acquiring qdacverify.com/.eth secures the namespace for the most operationally non-negotiable compliance verification requirement in the CLARITY Act — the one that determines whether every registered digital asset intermediary can legally operate at all.
