The KYC process

We want a fair token launch and a strong community. We did our best to eliminate suspicious accounts in order to get a large amount of REQ tokens into the hands of the most legitimate registrants. That is why we have been strict for the KYC of Request Network.

Here is how we proceeded:

we did both manual and automated checks based on criteria such as the email address, the IP address, the subscription date, the country, and the image size..

we used the Cynopsis technology to avoid people from sanctions lists and politically exposed individuals.

we removed the duplicate accounts (same profiles or same Ethereum address).

we detected the fake accounts (suspicious accounts with false identity or stolen identity).

we asked for additional information every time we had doubts.

our manual checks were by batch of nationality so that we could more easily detect frauds.

The Request community

We have 155 different nationalities. You will find below the map of the registrants’ breakdown per country:
