Know Your Customer (KYC) & Identity Verification Policy
 Effective Date: April 1, 2025

1. Purpose and Scope

Siriux Foundation (“Siriux,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to supporting global financial integrity and regulatory compliance, while preserving the core principles of privacy and decentralization. This Know Your Customer (“KYC”) & Identity Verification Policy outlines Siriux’s approach to user and partner identity verification in connection with its non-custodial, decentralized protocol infrastructure.

This Policy applies to:

• Front-end interfaces and services maintained by Siriux;
  
  

• Third-party vendors, partners, and integrators interacting with Siriux-branded services;
  
  

• Any optional KYC-enabled features integrated into the Siriux ecosystem.

2. Decentralized & Non-Custodial Nature

Siriux does not maintain user accounts, custody assets, or facilitate financial transactions directly. Access to the protocol occurs exclusively through non-custodial wallet interfaces. As such, Siriux is not a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) under most regulatory frameworks and does not conduct traditional KYC procedures for individual users.

3. Risk-Based KYC Philosophy

While Siriux does not collect or store identity documents, we voluntarily adopt a risk-based approach to KYC by:

• Collaborating with front-end and infrastructure partners to assess user risk;
  
  

• Using blockchain analytics to detect and deter illicit activity;
  
  

• Avoiding engagement with sanctioned jurisdictions or prohibited entities;
  
  

• Requiring third-party service providers to maintain adequate KYC programs.

4. KYC for Enterprise & Integration Partners

Siriux may require KYC documentation and due diligence for ecosystem partners, including:

• Market makers;
  
  

• API and node integrators;
  
  

• Launchpad operators or liquidity providers;
  
  

• Other service providers seeking direct Siriux endorsement or branding.
  
  

Required documentation may include:

• Proof of registration/incorporation;
  
  

• Director/beneficial ownership details;
  
  

• Tax identification numbers;
  
  

• Jurisdictional risk review;
  
  

• Confirmation of AML/CTF compliance measures.
  
  

---

5. Wallet Screening and Blockchain Monitoring

Siriux leverages trusted third-party tools (e.g., Chainalysis, TRM Labs) to:

• Screen public wallet addresses for links to known illicit activity;
  
  

• Monitor interactions with the Siriux protocol for red flags;
  
  

• Maintain internal blocklists or geofence access based on risk level.
  
  

These tools allow us to enforce platform-level safeguards without collecting user PII (personally identifiable information).

6. KYC Delegation to Third-Party Interfaces

Where a third-party platform or interface is used to access Siriux:

• That platform is responsible for its own KYC, AML, and compliance;
  
  

• Siriux may require contractual confirmation of compliance standards;
  
  

• Users should consult the privacy and KYC terms of any such interface.
  
  

---

7. Sanctions Compliance

Users and partners must not be located in, or associated with, jurisdictions subject to international sanctions, including but not limited to:

• OFAC-sanctioned territories (e.g., Iran, North Korea);
  
  

• United Nations or EU-sanctioned entities;
  
  

• Individuals or entities flagged by international watchlists.
  
  

---

8. Data Privacy & Minimal Disclosure Principle

Siriux upholds the principle of data minimization:

• We do not collect personal identity data from protocol users;
  
  

• Where enterprise verification is required, data is stored securely and only for compliance purposes;
  
  

• We do not sell or share identity data with unauthorized third parties.

9. Policy Review & Updates

This KYC Policy is reviewed at least annually or when there is a material change in law, technology, or business operations. Any updates will be communicated via official Siriux channels.
