KYC & AML Policy
Caput Mundi Group maintains a compliance programme to prevent the Platform from being used for money laundering, terrorist financing, or financial crime. This policy describes our requirements and procedures.
Last updated: 1 May 2026
Purpose and Regulatory Framework
Our KYC/AML compliance programme is designed to meet applicable UAE Free Zone regulations and international FATF (Financial Action Task Force) standards. We are committed to operating a presale that is transparent, lawful, and free from financial crime.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any presale participant's access to their allocation if they fail to complete required KYC verification or are found to be in violation of this policy.
When KYC is Required
KYC verification may be triggered in the following circumstances:
- Your cumulative purchase amount exceeds $5,000 USDC (or as updated by Caput Mundi Group);
- You are accessing the Platform from a jurisdiction designated as higher risk;
- Our systems flag your wallet address via blockchain analytics screening;
- Caput Mundi Group determines, at its sole discretion, that enhanced due diligence is warranted.
Tier 1 purchases below the KYC threshold may proceed without upfront verification but may be subject to retroactive KYC before Genesis Day migration is processed. Failure to complete KYC when requested will result in your allocation being withheld.
Documents Required
Standard KYC verification requires the following:
- Identity document: Valid passport, national identity card, or government-issued photo ID (not expired);
- Liveness check: A real-time selfie or guided video verification to confirm you are the document holder;
- Proof of address: Utility bill, bank statement, or official document dated within the last 3 months (required for purchases above $10,000 USDC).
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) may require additional documentation — including a written source of funds declaration — for high-value purchasers or participants from elevated-risk jurisdictions.
KYC Provider and Data Handling
KYC verification is conducted by Sumsub (Sum and Substance Ltd), an industry-leading identity verification provider regulated in multiple jurisdictions. Your identity documents and biometric data are processed by Sumsub under their own privacy policy and our signed data processing agreement.
Caput Mundi Group receives only the outcome of the verification (pass / fail / pending) and an associated risk score. We do not store raw document images on our own servers. Sumsub retains verification records for the statutory period required by applicable law.
Wallet addresses submitted to the presale are screened against leading blockchain analytics tools to identify addresses associated with sanctioned entities, darknet markets, or known illicit activity. Flagged addresses may be blocked from purchasing without notice.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
If a participant fails to complete required KYC or fails due diligence screening:
- Access to the allocation dashboard may be suspended;
- Their CMX allocation may be withheld from the Genesis Day migration;
- In serious cases, their purchase may be voided and USDC returned less applicable fees and transaction costs;
- Where legally required, Caput Mundi Group will notify the relevant financial intelligence unit or regulatory authority.
