Zama requires users to complete the entire KYC process, which is really disappointing. A protocol that claims to prioritize privacy ends up doing identity verification, which is truly ironic.

I personally was blocked from several rounds of ICO sales and airdrop events because I didn't want to submit my personal information. Why should I have to give up my privacy to participate?

Fortunately, projects like Miden still uphold a privacy-first stance. I hope they don't follow in Zama's footsteps. Refusing KYC is refusing to be excessively monitored.

Basically, Zama's move is like slapping itself in the face. Implementing KYC in a privacy protocol is outrageous. It would be impressive if Miden can really withstand the pressure. Right now, everyone is competing over KYC... Why do you have to give up your privacy to participate? Who came up with this logic? Let's wait and see if Miden also falls. I bet five bucks it won't last two months. That's why I never touch projects with KYC. I've had enough of that once.

It's ironic—playing the privacy card and then turning around to require you to complete KYC. This move is truly ruthless.

Basically, it's another project that claims "I want privacy" but then turns around and asks for your ID card. It's hilarious. --- Miden is now the last hope. Please don't mess this up. --- This round is really disgusting. Privacy agreements with KYC are just ridiculous. --- Brothers who are blocked outside the airdrop gate really have a bit of a grievance. Why do you have to verify your identity to participate? --- Zama's operation is really disappointing. Playing the privacy card but still requiring your information in the end. The tactics are a bit deep.

Laughing out loud, the privacy policy is doing KYC, isn't that shooting oneself in the foot?
