Complete Synaps KYB/KYC

To ensure a decentralized approval process, the public information about the entity operating the node is verified by an independent third-party company called Synaps. Your information is verified through a KYB (know your business) or KYC ( know your customer) process, where your identity and company credentials are checked.

The processes differ between business and personal accounts.

You will need to have your ID, access to a webcam for likeness and company documents ready.
