Verification & KYC
Does Polymarket require Identity Verification?
Decentralized Ethos
Historically, Polymarket has been a "No-KYC" (Know Your Customer) platform. You only needed a wallet address.
Large Volume Traders
Recently, for high-volume traders or users interacting with certain fiat on-ramps (like MoonPay), KYC checks may be triggered.
- If you use MoonPay to buy crypto with a card, you must do KYC with MoonPay (Passport/ID).
Future Outlook
As regulations tighten, it is possible that Polymarket may implement stricter checks in the future, especially for large accounts.
