KYC & Identity
To ensure regulatory compliance for fiat operations, the Toronet blockchain supports Know Your Customer (KYC) verification directly through the SDK.
This allows projects to:
Perform user identity verification using BVN and personal info
Ensure a wallet is eligible for higher-value fiat transactions
Check if a wallet is already verified
✅ When Is KYC Required?
KYC is mandatory for:
Deposits over 200 USD or ₦200,000 NGN

🔍 Check If Wallet is KYC Verified
Use this method to confirm KYC status of a given wallet:
import { isAddressKYCVerified } from 'torosdk';
const { verified, provider } = await isAddressKYCVerified({
address: '0xWalletAddress',
});Response:
{
verified: true,
provider: 'ConnectW'
}🔒 Best Practices
Always perform KYC before high-volume fiat deposits.
Never store raw BVN or sensitive identity info in plaintext.
Inform users how their data is used and stored.
🌍 Multi-Currency Support
While BVN is used for NGN flows, KYC for other currencies (e.g. USD, KSH) may follow alternative verification models in the future.
