DIP Token Generating Event Now Accepting Registrations from Contributors Worldwide

We have received a great deal of interest from our community since starting the registration for the DIP Token Generating Event (TGE) a few weeks ago.

UPDATE: Dates are now defined. The DIP Token Generating Event will start on 25 June 2018. More details in this announcement.

Thank you all for your great support!

Now, we are also happy to announce that we expanded the registration process to be worldwide and updated the TGE terms to enable US accredited investors to participate as well.

Support for more countries

Some of you encountered first-hand the limitations of our initial registration process regarding unsupported countries and documents.

We listened to you, and we understand your concerns.

Of course, in order to comply with Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money-Laundry (AML) regulations, it is crucial for us to identify every contributor.

There are not many service providers out there which comply with Switzerland’s strict regulations in this area. We are very happy to work with IDnow, and their online identification service has worked great for hundreds of contributors who successfully registered. The IDnow team has been very helpful; however, there still are many countries not supported by IDnow.

We have found a solution which will allow us to register all those eager contributors who couldn’t be identified by the IDNow platform. In short — we have integrated another identification service provider to fill in the gap.

New identification service from Bity

Bity is a crypto finance service provider located in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. They have been a long-term supporter of Etherisc, and we are very thankful for their continuous backing and their commitment to addressing the challenges in this space. We already had Bity as the identification service provider for legal entities (which are not supported by IDnow).

Now, we can benefit from their identification service even more: Bity has opened their identification process to identify and register individuals for Etherisc. This makes the DIP TGE registration process now available for individuals and legal entities globally.

You can start the registration process at https://etherisc.com/registration.

There is now a country selection on the first page of the registration process. The selected country will define the identification service provider to be used in the following process. If your country is supported by IDnow, you will be redirected to IDnow’s online identification service (just as before). If your country is not supported, you will get instructions to register with bity.com and use their identification service.

If you ran into problems with IDnow before, we encourage you to go through the registration process again. If you have received a success email from the IDnow registration process, you don’t need to do anything.

We will also reach out to the people who have contacted our support team in the past weeks regarding identification issues and will invite them to try again with Bity.

Updated TGE terms to enable US contributors

Furthermore, we have updated the TGE terms and conditions to comply with United States securities regulations. This enables US persons who are “accredited investors” to contribute to the DIP TGE.

You can find more details in the new TGE terms and conditions. A comparison of the old and new version of the TGE terms is available here. Please review the new terms and changes, even if you have already registered, and if you are not a US person. There are some restrictions regarding the resale and transfer of DIP tokens to US persons which are important to understand for all contributors.

In the following days, we will reach out to the US persons and US legal entities which have already been in touch with us and invite them to become Early Contributors in the DIP TGE.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our support team per email to [email protected].
