## General Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is Faraday?" icon="rocket">
    Faraday makes using stablecoins safe, simple, and compliant across chains. It combines **best-execution swaps**, **real-time risk assessment**, **compliance screening**, and **transaction reporting** into a single unified API.

    Whether you're a protocol, DAO, business, or individual, Faraday ensures that every stablecoin transaction is executed efficiently and transparently with the same compliance and risk management assurance expected in traditional finance.

    requirements: - **Protocols and DAOs** managing multi-chain treasuries -
    **Fintechs and payment platforms** executing user-initiated transfers -
    **Funds and trading desks** that require risk-aware execution - **Enterprises

    ✅ **Risk management** screening every counterparty and address
    ✅ **Cross-chain support** with unified API for swaps and bridges
    ✅ **Complete audit trails** for regulatory reporting
    ✅ **No additional fees** beyond network gas and aggregator costs
