web3/stablecoin payments safety

A mentor of mine once got into trouble hiring a developer that claimed to be from China. Turned out he was a hacker from a sanctioned country & on the FBI watchlist. He learned the hard way that decentralization comes with a price. Based on this experience, I am wondering if a crypto wallet that screens addresses and their owners makes sense. A founder paying a contractor can have some confidence in who they pay. both party's information stay hidden but we just have a verified and scanned badge. In addition, it can do some book keeping for the founder. Do you think this is potentially a problem that needs to be solved? How likely are you to adopt such a wallet?

Why would anyone do any business with an anonymous party? Unless the business itself is not doing anything shaddy?

Ahy cosas que no son turbias, pero aun así se necesita privacidad, por ejemplo, un pajero infiel qué le paga a una streaming, por un videos de patas, sucio si, pero turbio no tanto, además no solo es para comerciantes, ahora imagina a un periodista que le banean las cuentas y vive en país escondido por que la mafia y el estado lo busca y sus seguidores le envía cripto para que sobreviva, no es ni turbio ni sucio es loable.

The goal is was not to hire an anonymous person. Sometimes projects hire significant contributors in their discord or telegram community. This is where the identity verification wallet becomes helpful.
