- What is knowing your customer?

Knowing your customer is a means which is devised by most groups, platforms, or airdrop projects as well as exchange platforms to keep track of their customers via a means of verification.

Knowing your customer which is abbreviated as KYC is a criterion that many is used to know real users of a particular platform. As you know, bots are used to cheat during mining and AirDrop, and for that reason, KYC has been introduced to tackle this theft.

To perform KYC, you will have to provide some personal information such as your official name, country of residence, identity card, and or any other relevant documents. Aside from that, you will also perform some facial or physical verification to capture your face and perform other activities such as blinking your eyes, nodding your head, and more.

- Which recent crypto project or anything related to Crypto compelled you to verify yourself through KYC? Explain?

The last thing that I did that compelled me to do KYC was when I was registering for the CEX.IO airdrop project which is currently running on the telegram application. The project is currently one of the trending projects on Telegram and they also have their exchange which you will have to link with your telegram for your mined balance to reflect.

Currently, I'm still in the process of the verification because I have tried on several occasions and my verification is always rejected for reasons I don't know. However, after my inquiries, I was told that many also have tried several times and it also failed for them as well so we keep trying.

Most times to achieve results via KYC is not always easy because the system most times rejects either the ID card or the pictures we we take during the process. So this has been the reason why I haven't been able to complete the KYC.
