Tezos Foundation has announced that it will be implementing KYC/AML checks for all of its investors. They have asked the users to visit verification.tezos.com and enter KYC information. A year ago when they did an ICO literally no one was doing KYC checks, the landscape changed a lot in recent months. If you’ve been following ICOs you know that any ICO working with MME Switzerland requires full KYC and they formed the Tezos Foundation. The KYC check now might seem odd since it’s a year after the ICO, the fact is that most other ICOs were just handing out ERC20 tokens so they didn’t need to build a working project yet before they could do the distribution. That’s what makes this situation different.
