What is KYC Verification?
Know Your Customer (KYC) is a verification process that helps us confirm the identity of our users and their businesses. This process is essential for maintaining a secure and trustworthy marketplace while complying with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.
Why KYC is Required
KYC verification protects both IP holders and lessees by ensuring all parties are legitimate businesses. It also helps us maintain the integrity of IP address ownership records.
