First, a big thank you to all who are currently participating in both the FantomStarter Tesnet and public sale whitelist gleam competition. The FantomStarter public sale is approximately 2 weeks away and we’d like to take the time to share with you why we have chosen Fractal ID to KYC our users.

This is not a step-by-step guide to KYCing as one will be published in a future update. We recommend all the eligible participants conduct their KYC in order to qualify for the upcoming public sale. The participants, who already have a Fractal account, can authorize FantomStarter Fractal application to verify their credentials for KYC.

FantomStarter’s approach to KYC

​​”What assurance do I have that the entity holding the KYC info is keeping my personal data secure?” — your average investor

Social one-click sign-ins have made logging to platforms easy but we always wondered if there’s anything similar for the decentralized web without data lock-in. And this leads to Fractal ID — an Open Authentication (OAuth) login process that offers banking-grade KYC/AML identification standards.

We hope that by reading the following you will have a clear understanding of the value and importance of using Fractal ID for your KYC needs.

Fractal KYC for IDOs

IDO (Initial Decentralized Exchange Offering) platforms are an obvious product fit for Fractal ID verification. These platforms, in general, outsource their KYC processes to third parties, thereby putting user data at risk. Fractal ID enables secure connection of its wallet to these launchpads via Web3 technology for instant verification.

As one of the leading IDO launchpads, FantomStarter also relies on Fractal ID for KYC. All the winning addresses on Gleam can create or log in with their Fractal ID and provide FantomStarter fractal app authorization (in a similar way when you log in with your Google account on a website). After the successful ID verification, the users are officially whitelisted to participate in the public sale and future IDOs.
