This novel method allowed for the thousands of individuals and entities who owned those wallets to be notified of their rights related to the settlement despite the defendant not knowing the personal identities of those who had purchased the tokens at issue. These notice NFTs were publicly viewable, and they were embedded with gate-keeping claimant verification information to provide additional security and reduce fraud by only permitting wallets that had received the notice NFT to submit claims.  Further, Simpluris included the ability to link more than one digital wallet to a claim and automatically import relevant transactional details with dates and amounts. This customized tool served to verify claimants’ ownership and control of eligible wallets without the need to evaluate transactions manually and incur additional administration costs.

Once all claims were submitted, Simpluris undertook a rigorous screening process to ensure that no government-sanctioned wallets or other bad actors would receive payment by comparing wallet addresses submitted through the claims process to the publicly available lists of sanctioned wallet addresses, and by carefully analyzing risk scores associated with each wallet.  Upon receiving final approval from the court, Simpluris safely distributed the funds by check and digital payments.
