A robust KYC process helps prevent fraud, enhances credibility, and aligns with regulatory requirements, making your project more appealing to investors and users. Our KYC services provide seamless identity verification, ensuring security and transparency for your community. The KYC will be kept private (not publicly shared), upon confirmed fraud the ID documents will be shared with authorities. ``` Needed for KYC ============= Please invite your core team into the group too. For the KYC, we need the following information for every core team member by email: General ➣ First and Last name ➣ Address, Postcode, Place and Country ➣ Date of birth ➣ Mobile phone number with country code (+XX) ➣ Private email address ➣ Role in the team Project ➣ Project name ➣ Project website Documents All representatives of the project must verify their address using another proof-of-address document. For example, one of the following: ➣ Utility bill not older than 3 months ➣ Bank statement not older than 3 months Your data is stored in-house AES encrypted. We use a secure email infrastructure that is based in Switzerland. ``` --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
