KYC Verification

Know Your Customer · Pre-Milestone Requirement

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a verification process that helps protect our community from fraud, duplicate accounts, and regulatory issues.

What Is KYC?

  • Ensure fair rewards distribution (one account per person)
  • Prevent multi-account abuse
  • Comply with global anti-money-laundering (AML) regulations
  • Build a trustworthy community
  • Make public listings possible (most listing venues require it)

Why KYC at BestieMe?

We chose not to require KYC during the platform points phase. You can sign up, start earning, and explore the community without uploading any documents. KYC will only become relevant before the Program Milestone Event, when on-chain BSTM will actually be distributed.

KYC System: In Development

Our KYC verification flow is being built. It will be available before our Program Milestone Event.

Verification Steps (When Available)

1

Government ID Upload

A photo of your passport, national ID, or driver's license.

2

Selfie Verification

A quick liveness check via your device camera.

3

Address Verification (Optional)

A utility bill or bank statement as address proof.

4

Automated Approval

Most submissions are reviewed within 24 hours.

What Happens If I Skip KYC?

  • If your jurisdiction allows on-chain claims without KYC, you may be able to claim BSTM with limits.
  • If your jurisdiction requires KYC for on-chain distribution, you'll need to complete verification to claim.
  • Some optional features may require KYC even where not mandatory.

Privacy and Security

  • KYC processing is handled by a regulated third-party provider, not BestieMe directly
  • Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest
  • BestieMe receives only a verification result, not your raw documents
  • You may request deletion of KYC data after verification
