Civic Co-Founders, Vinny Lingham and Jonathan Smith are joined by TokenMarket CTO Mikko Ohtamaa for a discussion on Know-Your-Customer verification. The conversation will be focussed on Token Sales, ICOs and how this has evolved from a traditional, centralised format to a decentralised, user-controlled, reusable solution.

This webinar will be the first in a great series and will allow participants to get a more hands-on and professional approach into the world of decentralised KYC”Mikko Ohtamaa, TokenMarket CTO stated. “In the near future, we will be partnering with Civic to launch our new smart contract technology, KAI, that will increase ease and speed for ICOs by combining KYC/AML and Accredited Investor details into one place.”
“Working with TokenMarket, and in particular Mikko, will allow users to drastically improve their experience when using our automated and decentralised KYC system. Whilst KYC is an essential part of taking part in token sales and ICOs, users shouldn’t have to input the data every time” Civic CTO and Co-Founder, Jonathan Smith said. “Working together with TokenMarket will allow the processes in place to run smoother, delivering a new level of security and professionalism to the token sale process.”
