# KYC Process

KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti Money Laundering) practices have long been common in traditional finance, but they're just as important in the crypto world (especially when IDOs are involved).

To protect ourselves and our users, and to keep up with a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, we've partnered with Fractal.id to verify our users.

To participate in whitelist sales on our platform, you must be [verified with Fractal for StarLaunch](https://app.fractal.id/login?client_id=b5kR1YtTwLjdoWNkat9gxgj8HEKZIIj8pDBgnpCIVY0\&redirect_uri=https://app.starlaunch.com/\&response_type=code\&scope=contact:read%20verification.plus:read%20verification.plus.details:read%20verification.liveness:read%20verification.liveness.details:read%20verification.wallet-sol:read%20verification.wallet-sol.details:read%20verification.telegram:read%20verification.telegram.details:read), and have a [valid SPL (Solana) wallet address](../the-basics/supported-wallets) on file.
