Been digging into how decentralized identity systems tackle the messy stuff - you know, the edge cases that most protocols quietly sweep under the rug.

Turns out some projects are actually building robust frameworks to handle tricky scenarios: underage users trying to access restricted services, wallets flagged on sanctions lists, accounts showing suspicious patterns. The approach? Embed these checks directly into user journeys rather than bolting them on as an afterthought.

What caught my attention is the real-time tracking aspect - watching how these edge cases flow through verification steps, where they get flagged, how the system routes them differently. It's less about blocking access and more about intelligent risk management.

Kind of refreshing to see compliance treated as a core feature instead of regulatory checkbox. Makes you wonder how many other Web3 infrastructure layers are quietly solving unsexy problems like this.
