​

I. Executive Summary

 

World Blockchain Bank™ and World Arbitration Court™ present a next-generation financial infrastructure built on U.S. regulatory foundations and international treaty law.

​

  1. Money transmission

  2. Crypto-to-fiat conversion

  3. Foreign exchange

  • Offers cross-border dispute resolution recognized under UNCITRAL Article II

 

IV. Global Compliance Without Red Tape

Instead of applying for dozens of national licenses, all Blockchain Bank entities operate under:

​

  1. Unified AML/KYC standards

  2. FATF-aligned compliance protocols

  3. Binding arbitration clauses under UNCITRAL

 

This model respects national sovereignty while eliminating redundant licensing burdens, making global operation possible in a legally consistent, treaty-compliant way.

🔐 Real Enforcement in a Post-Jurisdictional World: Hostinger Case Study

​

“The World Arbitration Court has already enforced its framework in real-world legal scenarios. The Hostinger International default award — Apostilled under the Hague Convention and tokenized on Polygon — represents the first publicly issued post-jurisdictional enforcement claim, with $30 million USD damages, full UCC-1 lien registration, notarized blockchain minting, and enforcement recognition in EU, BRICS, UAE, U.S., and UNCITRAL states.”

​

​​

1. Formal Arbitration Execution & Apostille Certification

 

The arbitration awards (USA & EU versions) issued by the World Arbitration Court (WAC) are:

​

  • Digitally and cryptographically signed, notarized by human and AI arbitrators.

  • Apostilled under the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961, giving them legal recognition across 173+ jurisdictions including all New York Convention member states.

  • Blockchain-registered and hash-notarized, including ERC-721/1155 tokenization on Polygon with a public enforcement ledger on RWA.xyz and IPFS.

 

📄 Legal Certifiers:

​

  • Timothy Prellwitz, Notary Public (Sweden)

  • Tomas Kolbjer, Authorized Notary (Apostille24)

​

The awards were issued after:
