"Kinto’s KYC-Chain Linkage
Kinto’s compliance upgrade integrates KYC with on-chain behavior for airdrops. Key mechanisms:
Cross-Validation: Matches wallet activity with verified identities.
Risk Scoring: Flags suspicious patterns (e.g., mixer use).
Tiered Access: Higher KYC tiers unlock larger allocations.
This deters Sybils but raises privacy concerns. Kinto must anonymize data and comply with regulations (e.g., GDPR). Users should prepare verified IDs and maintain clean on-chain histories. The model enhances institutional trust but may alienate privacy-focused users. Balancing compliance with decentralization remains a key challenge."
