EU Regulation 2023/1114 (MiCA / MiCAR)
MiCA Compliance Scanner
Find out what a regulator would flag, before you file your MiCA application. Upload your whitepaper or website and get a report on token classification, CASP licence triggers, missing disclosures, and risky marketing claims. Like a smart contract audit, for MiCA compliance.
Full refund if the scan fails. No account needed.
An automated estimate, not legal advice
The scanner uses AI and a rule set audited against the official MiCA text. It is built to prepare you for legal review, not to replace it. For official compliance guidance, consult counsel specialising in EU crypto regulation.
How it works
How it works
1. Submit your documents
Upload a whitepaper (PDF, DOCX, Markdown, text, HTML) or just give your website URL. If your whitepaper lives on GitBook or your site, the scanner finds and reads it, subpages included.
2. Two-pass analysis
A first pass checks your content against MiCA article by article. A second, independent pass re-examines every finding and discards anything it cannot defend. Quoted evidence is verified verbatim against your documents.
3. Get the report
A compliance score, your token's likely classification, CASP triggers, and every finding with its article reference, evidence, and a concrete fix. Delivered by email with a shareable link and PDF.
The rules
What MiCA requires, and what the scanner checks
The rule set covers Titles II through VI of the regulation and was audited line by line against the official text.
Token classification (Art. 3)
Is your token a utility token, an asset-referenced token, an e-money token, or security-like? Classification decides which regime, and which licence, applies to you.
Whitepaper requirements (Art. 6)
The disclosures a crypto-asset whitepaper must contain: issuer identity, rights and obligations, risks, environmental impact, and the mandated statements.
Marketing claims (Art. 7)
Guaranteed returns, price predictions, and claims inconsistent with your whitepaper. Websites are where these live, so the scanner reads yours page by page.
CASP licence triggers (Title V)
Custody, exchange, fiat off-ramps, and trading platforms are licensed activities. The scan flags which of your described services need CASP authorisation.
Risk disclosures
Whether risk warnings exist, are specific to your project, and are prominent enough to count.
Stablecoin rules (Titles III and IV)
If your token references a currency or asset basket: redemption rights, the interest prohibition, and issuer requirements for EMTs and ARTs.
The threshold
Do you need a CASP licence?
This is the question that decides most projects' MiCA exposure. If you exchange crypto for fiat, hold your users' assets or keys, or operate a trading venue for EU customers, you are providing crypto-asset services and need authorisation under Article 59. Operating without one carries fines of up to €5M or 5% of annual turnover, whichever is higher.
The scan tells you which of your described services trigger the licence requirement. You can also check any company against the ESMA register with our free tool.
Preparing your MiCA application
Most teams run the scanner before filing: a licence application with contradictions between your whitepaper, your website, and your actual services costs months of back-and-forth with the regulator. The report gives you the gap list to close first, with each gap tied to the article your reviewer will check it against.
What a scan costs: €49.95. What non-compliance costs: up to €5M or 5% of turnover for unlicensed services, market bans, and delisting. Estimate your exposure with the free MiCA fine calculator.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the MiCA regulation?
MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets, Regulation EU 2023/1114, sometimes written MiCAR) is the EU framework governing crypto-assets. It sets requirements for whitepapers, marketing, token classification, and licensing for crypto-asset service providers. It has applied in full since the transitional period ended on 1 July 2026.
What does the MiCA Compliance Scanner check?
It analyzes your whitepaper and website against MiCA: token classification (utility, ART, EMT, security-like), CASP licence triggers, whitepaper content requirements under Article 6, marketing claims under Article 7, and risk disclosure quality. Every finding cites the article it rests on and quotes the evidence from your own documents.
Do I need a CASP licence?
If you exchange crypto for fiat, hold customers' assets or keys, or run a trading platform for EU users, you are likely providing crypto-asset services under Title V and need CASP authorisation. The scan flags which of your described services trigger this.
How do I monitor MiCA compliance automatically?
Run a scan whenever your documents or website change. Each scan re-checks classification, disclosures, and marketing language against the regulation. Continuous monitoring is coming as part of the Genesis Engine platform.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is an automated triage tool that helps you prepare for legal review. Findings cite the relevant articles so your counsel can verify them quickly.
What documents can I submit?
A whitepaper or litepaper as PDF, DOCX, Markdown, plain text, or HTML, or a URL. If your whitepaper lives on your website or a GitBook, the website URL alone is enough; the scanner reads linked documentation pages too.
How is my data handled?
Uploaded files are deleted after each scan. We do not store or reuse your documents.
What if the scan fails?
You get a full refund automatically.
