Engineering Vice President Josh Stevens said only some users of a new beta product must complete KYC (identity verification) during testing, while the main Polymarket site has no new requirement.
Polymarket said it is not rolling out a platform-wide KYC (identity verification) requirement, rejecting a report that suggested broader checks across its services. According to Engineering Vice President Josh Stevens, the requirement applies only to some users of a new beta product during its testing phase. He said the existing Polymarket site has not introduced any new KYC rules. The clarification is significant because KYC checks are commonly used by financial platforms to verify user identities for compliance purposes, and any expansion of such rules can affect user access and platform operations.
