KYC for domain transactions
Know-Your-Customer verification — government ID + proof of address — applied to high-value domain trades to satisfy AML rules and reduce fraud risk.
When it kicks in
Most marketplaces require KYC above a transaction threshold (commonly $10,000+) and for any auction win that triggers escrow. Sellers + buyers both verify.
Document tiers
Deepnom’s three tiers: Easy (ID), Medium (+ utility bill), High (+ selfie holding ID). Tier required is risk-scored based on transaction value + user history.
