FAQ

Is the KYC data shared with buyers? No. PII stays inside the KYC partner system. Buyers see your verified-seller badge, public bio, and aggregate stats only.

How long does verified status last? 12 months from approval. Renewal is automatic if your trade history and rating remain compliant.

Can I be downgraded? Yes — chronic late deliveries, unresolved disputes, or rating drop below 4.5 can trigger a tier downgrade.

Does verification help me sell more? Empirically: yes. Verified sellers in our 2024–2026 cohort closed 2.2x faster than non-verified equivalents at comparable price points. The uplift is largest in the mid-tier ($500 to $3,000) where buyers are typically willing to pay a small premium for demonstrable trust.

What if I sell on other platforms too? Does verification still make sense? Yes. Verified sellers can showcase off-platform track record in their bio (with proof) which we surface as an additional trust signal. Many of our top verified sellers came from OGUsers, Swapd or Fragment and consolidated their volume on handles.gg once the fee structure crossed over.

What does the verification process actually look like day-by-day? Day 0: you submit the KYC pack via the Mini App. Day 1: identity partner performs the ID + selfie + address check. Days 2-3: our team reviews your trade history, rating trend and dispute log, then makes a decision. If approved you receive Silver by default; Gold and Ruby require an additional review of monthly volume ($20k+ for Gold, $75k+ for Ruby) and are hand-selected by our marketplace team once a month.

How does verification interact with the escrow smart contract? Verified sellers get access to a soft-escrow lane where partial early release can be triggered on multi-listing bundles once individual items ship. This is not automatic; buyers still approve each release step, but the workflow saves days on complex enterprise deals.
