# KYC Requirements

Unich Network is built on a foundational principle: every Node in the network represents a real, verified human being. The entire value of the network — the integrity of Peer Meet verification, the trustworthiness of Trust Circle data, the legitimacy of Network Expansion, depends on this. KYC is the mechanism that enforces it at scale.

**KYC is required to make FC available at TGE.** FC accumulated before TGE remains pending until the Node's owner completes identity verification. This applies without exception. A Node that has not completed KYC cannot convert pending FC to available FC at TGE, regardless of how much activity the Node has performed.

This is not a punitive measure. It is the same logic as the Peer Meet physical anchor: the network only assigns value to activity it can verify as real.
