Get answers about crypto
How can crypto exchanges speed up KYC at sign-up?
Start with what users already type, before the first deposit. Government KYC checks the name, date of birth and ID number against official records, with nothing to upload, in 10 countries on four continents today. Each detail comes back as match, partial or no match.
How do crypto platforms stop fake accounts farming sign-up rewards?
Referral bonuses and trading credits attract scripts that open accounts by the hundred, each looking clean. Monnai shows the links and the red flags: throwaway emails, numbers first seen days ago, and numbers or addresses shared by many identities or used in sudden bursts, before the reward pays out.
How can a crypto exchange prevent account takeover before a withdrawal?
A number with a new owner can open the door, and a crypto transfer can’t be called back. Before a withdrawal, Phone Intelligence shows whether the user’s number recently changed owner or moved operator, so you can verify again before funds leave.
Is Monnai a replacement for document checks in crypto KYC?
No, it adds what the document can’t show. A real ID in the wrong hands still looks real, so Monnai checks whether the phone and email belong to the ID holder. Its answers feed the KYC flow and rules you already run, through one API.
How can a crypto exchange test Monnai without integrating?
