KYC requirements and jurisdictional considerations for Autheo validator node operators.
Final KYC rules and supported regions will be confirmed and published before TGE. The information below reflects current expectations and is subject to change.
KYC requirements will be communicated to node holders during the onboarding process before TGE. If KYC is required for your situation, you will be guided through the verification process before node activation.
Token issuance and all token-related operations are administered through a British Virgin Islands (BVI) entity. Protocol development and ecosystem direction operate independently from token administration.
Autheo will publish a list of supported regions before TGE. Operators in restricted jurisdictions may not be eligible to activate a validator node or claim emission rewards.
If you select a managed hosting provider (InfStones, Zeeve), the provider may have their own compliance requirements in addition to Autheo’s. Review each provider’s terms of service and acceptable use policy.
