# Overview KYC (short for know your customer) is a standard procedure that is conducted on Uplift platform to check the candidate’s eligibility for participation in the project IDOs. Uplift does not enforce KYC by default. Identity verification procedures are conducted in alignment with the policies enforced with the projects conducting fundraising events on the platform. Implementation of KYC/AML tools on Uplift by the projects, a.k.a. *fundraising entities* ensures compliance with regional laws and regulations. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
