How Do Access Control Lists (ACLs) Restrict Token Transferability?

ACLs are lists of authorized addresses embedded within a smart contract that govern who can interact with the token or who can receive a transfer. They are essential for security tokens (STOs) to enforce regulatory compliance, ensuring only whitelisted, accredited investors can hold or trade the asset.

If an address is not on the list, the transfer function will revert the transaction.
