Identity verification, also known as KYC (Know Your Customer), is a crucial security procedure performed before trading and during account creation. This process ensures the security of both users and the exchange. Verifying your ID is essential for confirming user identities and enhancing account security, which is vital for safe trading.
You can perform transactions without completing identity verification; however, your transactions will be significantly limited. This limitation aims to prevent potentially suspicious activities and operates similarly to the procedures banks use to combat money laundering. The KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure serves as a way to establish mutual trust between Darkex and its users.
