What is KYC and why do I have to complete it?

KYC means Know Your Customer and is a standard due diligence process used by financial institutions or companies to assess and monitor customer risk and verify a customer’s identity. KYC ensures that a customer is who they say they are.

If you want to participate in our ICO as a company, you have to fulfill a KYB (Know Your Business). Please reach us at [e-mail] rather than following this tutorial.

As a French company, we need to comply with the regulation and prove the provenance of the funds we receive. Citizens of certain countries are excluded from participating in the ICO because of the geopolitical situation of their countries (Further info here). That’s why we partnered with Onfido to fulfill this due diligence.

The KYC process also represents a way to ensure a diversity of CLAP holders. Thanks to this process, nobody can participate multiple times in the ICO. Thus it guarantees the decentralization of the CLAP ecosystem.

What is the start and end date for KYC registration?

• Start Date: Friday, January 21 2022 at 11am UTC

• End Date: Wednesday, January 26 2022

Important: This step is mandatory. If you don’t register during this period, you won’t be able to participate in the Flash Sale or the Public Sale
