Our service uses a number of measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT). Such measures include identity verification or KYC (Know Your Client), verification of place of residence, origin of funds, and some other measures.

- Maintaining anonymity makes it difficult for the user to prove the ownership of the funds, including to law enforcement agencies.
- The opposite is also true - without documentary evidence it is more difficult to prove your non-involvement in any suspicious activities.
- We want to protect our users from fraudsters and criminally obtained funds.
In general, transparency attracts more investors and enthusiasts to the crypto world. The more people participate, the more actively our area develops and the more benefits all crypto market participants receive. Few people would want to invest in an industry where funds from the darknet circulate freely.
Identity verification
Identity verification is automated and goes through a special licensed service, similar to how it works on the largest cryptocurrency exchanges.
Please check your email and personal account for notifications until verification is complete. The trading features are available only after the KYC is passed.
If you go through ongoing verification, then until the process is completed, only withdrawal of funds will be available.

I can't pass verification
Listed below are the most common reasons why verification difficulties arise.
“Invalid file format” error, unable to send verification request
If an error occurs, check both files.
- You changed file extensions manually. For example, the document was in HEIC, and you renamed it to JPG. This applies to all formats. Such files will not pass verification.
- Photos were taken in burst mode. Formats such as Live photo for iOS, Top shot for Google Pixel and other similar formats when several photos are saved into one file are not supported.
- Photos were saved from messenger. Some popular instant messengers allow you to choose which format to save files as, but do not actually perform the conversion.
You are required to get verified again, although a verification request has been sent / verification has already been completed
- Poor quality of photos or scans. The system will not be able to recognize your data if it is poorly distinguishable.
- The document doesn't have your photo. Without a photo, you cannot verify that this document belongs to you.
- Expired document. The ID must not be expired and the proof of residence document must not be older than 3 months. If any document has expired, you will need to go through verification again with a new document.
