Polymarket: Identity verification will only affect the beta version, not the main platform.

Polymarket’s Vice President of Engineering, Josh Stevens, denied rumors about introducing mandatory KYC on the platform. According to him, the company is launching a separate beta product for a limited group of users, and verification is required solely for access during the testing period. After exiting the beta phase, KYC will no longer be necessary.

The clarification was prompted by a report from The Information, which stated that Polymarket had considered introducing mandatory verification amid regulatory pressure.
