Identity Disclosure

Definition

Identity Disclosure refers to the act of revealing one’s personal or real-world identification within a digital or blockchain context. While many blockchain systems prioritize pseudonymity, certain applications or regulatory requirements necessitate participants to verify and disclose their identities. This can involve linking a cryptographic address to a verified real-world identity through know-your-customer (KYC) or anti-money laundering (AML) procedures. Such disclosure aims to prevent illicit activities and ensure compliance.
