# KYC

Building a trusted mining ecosystem through multi-level identity screening and verification.

***

Midas is committed to maintaining a genuine, transparent, and spam-resistant mining ecosystem. To protect the integrity of the network and ensure that mining participation is associated with real individuals, Midas will implement a multi-stage identity verification system.

The KYC process is designed to identify genuine miners, prevent duplicate identities, and reduce fraudulent participation, automated accounts, and coordinated account manipulation.

### Independent KYC Process

KYC is an independent verification initiative within the Midas ecosystem. It operates separately from the project's development phases and follows its own implementation and rollout schedule.

The verification system will be introduced progressively through two major stages.

### Stage 1: AI-Powered Liveness and Face Identity Mapping

The first stage will introduce an AI-enabled liveness verification system combined with facial identity mapping.

During this process:

* Users will complete a real-time liveness check to establish that they are genuine individuals rather than static images, prerecorded videos, or automated attempts.
* AI-powered facial analysis will generate and evaluate facial identity representations.
* Face identity mapping will help detect duplicate identities associated with multiple Midas accounts.
* Suspicious verification attempts and potential identity duplication will be flagged for further screening.

This stage establishes an initial identity-verification layer before the introduction of official document verification.

### Stage 2: Official Document and Face Matching

The second stage will introduce identity verification using official government-issued documents.

Users will be required to provide an accepted identity document for verification. The system will then perform facial matching between the document's identity photograph and the face identity established during the first stage.

The verification process will help:

* Confirm that the submitted document corresponds to the person completing the verification.
* Detect mismatches between document photographs and live facial identity.
* Identify potentially duplicated or manipulated identities.
* Strengthen protection against fake, duplicate, and fraudulent accounts.

The objective is to ensure that verified participation is associated with genuine individuals rather than artificially generated accounts.

### Multi-Level Anti-Spam and Security Screening

Identity verification is only one part of Midas's security framework. Midas applies a broader multi-level screening approach to identify suspicious activity across the platform.

The security framework includes:

**1. Device-Level Monitoring**

Device-related security signals help identify unusual account patterns, repeated registrations, and potentially coordinated activity originating from suspicious devices.

**2. Network-Level Monitoring**

Network activity is monitored to identify suspicious registration patterns, abnormal access behaviour, and potentially coordinated attempts to manipulate the mining ecosystem.

**3. AI-Based Behavioural Screening**

Automated screening mechanisms are designed to detect suspicious account behaviour, bot-like activity, and patterns inconsistent with genuine user participation.

**4. Facial Identity Screening**

Facial identity mapping and subsequent document matching provide additional protection against duplicate identities and multiple-account abuse.

These security layers work together to strengthen the integrity of the Midas ecosystem.

### Verification Objective

Midas aims to build a mining ecosystem where participation is driven by genuine individuals. Through AI-enabled liveness detection, facial identity mapping, official document matching, and multi-level security monitoring, the platform seeks to reduce fraudulent participation and protect the credibility of its mining distribution system.
