01 Purpose
This policy sets out how FUTURAI, a non-custodial prediction-markets technology provider, verifies participants and detects, prevents, and reports activity associated with money laundering, fraud, and the financing of illicit activity.
Know-Your-Customer and Anti-Money-Laundering measures help keep FUTURAI safe, compliant, and accessible only to eligible adults.
This policy sets out how FUTURAI, a non-custodial prediction-markets technology provider, verifies participants and detects, prevents, and reports activity associated with money laundering, fraud, and the financing of illicit activity.
It applies to all accounts and may require verification before fund movements or full market access are enabled. Funds remain in the participant's wallet or in on-chain escrow via smart contract; FUTURAI does not custody funds.
We verify identity and age using a risk-based approach. Verification may include government-issued identification and confirmation that the participant is 18 or over.
Verification depth scales with risk indicators such as activity volume, the participant's jurisdiction, and behavior. Higher-risk profiles undergo enhanced due diligence.
Accounts and transactions are monitored for unusual patterns. Automated and manual checks may trigger requests for further information or temporary limits.
We screen against applicable international sanctions lists and apply enhanced scrutiny to politically exposed persons. Sanctioned individuals and entities are prohibited.
We may request information on the source of funds to investigate suspicious activity. Because the platform operates in USDC and funds move on-chain or within the participant's wallet, source-of-funds review may consider the on-chain history of the addresses involved, without FUTURAI custodying any fiat balance.
Where required, suspicious activity is reported to the competent authorities in the applicable jurisdiction, and we may be legally prevented from disclosing such reporting to the account holder.
Verification and transaction records are retained for the period required by applicable law.
Unverified or elevated-risk accounts may face limits on fund movements or market access until checks are completed. On-ramps that automatically convert to USDC, as well as on-chain movements, may be restricted during verification.
Failure to complete verification, or attempts to evade controls, may result in suspension, restriction of fund movements pending review, or termination.
FUTURAI is a non-custodial technology platform and does not claim any license or regulatory authorization. Verification requirements and service availability may vary depending on the participant's jurisdiction; participants are responsible for ensuring that use is permitted in their location.
