What is KYC or KYB, and When is it Required?

KYC (Know Your Customer) verifies an individual’s identity. KYB (Know Your Business) verifies a business entity. 

KYC or KYB is required after winning a Hex and before gaining full operational access. It is not required to browse the platform or participate in auctions.
