Thank you for your support.

We have received an overwhelming response, and many questions about verification procedures on ATLANT, specifically Know Your Customer (KYC) and Address Whitelisting (AW).

As previously stated, both procedures are required in order to be fully compliant with applicable rules and regulations in most jurisdictions where we plan to operate.

ATLANT strives to be as compliant and transparent as possible, and given that we have ongoing processes to acquire necessary licensing for operation, it is crucial for us to follow the rules enacted by regulators and relevant government and regional authorities.

ATLANT KYC Procedures

Token withdrawals and/or payouts on ATLANT require users to pass a number of standard AML/KYC procedures, including list screenings (SDN, PEPs, etc), due diligence and document checks. Most of these checks are performed automatically after submission of KYC documents on the ATLANT Platform. Others, however, require a manual effort by internal compliance officers, or further interaction with users.

We recognize that this is sometimes an arduous process, and to alleviate this inconvenience, we are in a process of integrating 3rd party KYC providers, among them, a regulated US Trust, to expedite verification procedures.

Another difficulty which we are addressing with our legal team is the volatility of governments’ positions in various countries with respect to security tokens and cryptocurrencies, and proliferation of existing and newly enacted laws and regulations.

Further, we are working on more integrations in our KYC process, including well known players such as Civic and Telegram Passport — these are expected to eventually streamline KYC user experience, as we look to make the process easier for clients.

Described KYC/AML procedures are centralized as in most traditional financial institutions, predominantly for GDPR compliance and other regulatory requirements. Whitelisting, however, involves storing whitelisted addresses on the blockchain.

ATLANT AW Procedures

Address Whitelisting is a KYC-related concept which is inherent to ATLANT and its proposed model of operations.

Any event involving token transfers to external Ethereum addresses would require a user to whitelist these addresses, provided that KYC/AML procedures have been passed successfully. At this stage, an Ethereum-based ledger representing a decentralized KYC registry comes into play.

The current implementation of ATLANT KYC Registry brings transparency by enabling any application, both internal to ATLANT or external (e.g. regulators), to check a particular address, verifying its KYC status near-instantly without suffering from possible service downtime/unavailability or tampered records.

Once Ethereum address is entered on the ATLANT Platform (Verification page), we automatically check the address for relevant transactions between it and ATLANT, when ‘Verify’ is clicked. In case there’s one or more transactions, the platform deducts a whitelisting fee and adds the address to the Ethereum ledger, marking it as verified by ATLANT.

Whitelisting involves paying a small verification fee which includes a network fee and imbeds costs for compliance and integration/monitoring. Please note — we are trying to streamline the KYC procedures (per above), and hope to further automate and lower the costs involved.

You can always check your address status on ATLANT via any Ethereum explorer, (e.g. Etherscan):

1. Navigate to

https://etherscan.io/address/0xd63a77fe246c4a0095796b13c33c15e55fea1f6c#readContract

2. Insert your external (personal) address into the “address” textbox (“getStatus” panel) and click “Query”

3. Check the number returned by Etherscan. “1” stands for “verified by ATLANT”.

Statuses will be more nuanced in the future but some tentative guidelines are:

“0” — non-verified address

“1” — verified address

“2” — suspended address

Sample values:

Verified: 0x65dc3935b20eAaa9aAb0d8AcCfAC99f3cF862823

Non-verified: 0xA10Da3724c7A7b8Ad2E6Aa8a439f9AC38a9a3182

Additionally, we have implemented a versatile approach in AW, making it possible for external KYC providers to conduct whitelisting on behalf of ATLANT. This is useful for situations when multiple apps or external providers need to be allowed, to conduct AW. External KYC provider address may be assigned or revoked at any time by ATLANT.

We encourage everyone to verify KYC contract source code:

In case you require further help with getting verified on ATLANT, or have other issues, please feel free to contact support by writing to [email protected] or submitting a ticket on the ATLANT Helpdesk Portal https://helpdesk.atlant.io. Please make sure to use the same email address as you used to register on ATLANT, when submitting tickets.

I was away, just got back home, happy to have ended the KYC Procedures and the Address Whitelisting Procedures.

All my support to the team. Go Atlant, Summer holidays coming

illegal shufflers means post or comments or article about the project from unofficial source. just don't spread that
kyc data is important. miss use of that data could brings troubles for you.
did atlant is going to launch its main-net next month or there is time in the main-net launch
with crypto market fall developments on the project are slow

3. What are illegal shufflers?
2. I did not give my passport to the forum. I take care of my data.
1. What are the answers? You (now I understand that you are from the project team) have changed the rules and arranged discrimination. Do not want a peace? Ask your lawyers, they will say that you are wrong from the point of view of the law.

1. As I mentioned the team has answered your questions
2. We ask you to not put personal data (passport scans) in this thread as it is a violation
3. We ask you to not use or advertise illegal shufflers

Hello! This is a passport of a citizen of Ukraine, not a passport for travel abroad. Feel the difference? If not, read the laws of Ukraine.

If the team is confident in its correctness, welcome to the court.  I know my rights, because I defend them. Penalties, legal costs and moral damages will fall entirely on the company.
I propose to find an alternative peace way.

If the team allows, I can provide a passport for travel abroad. But they never spoke about him. But there is no residence permit residence! Get rejected again?

Moreover, the team is not right in changing the rules after doing the work.
If you answer with your example with the Polish border guard, then the laws establish what documents. And in the case of this, the team has changed the rules.

Therefore, I ask for help. Christmas is now. I want to solve everything peacefully.

Listen, 'human rights', why don't you try crossing an international border with your documents. Once they turn you away, you can tell the Polish border patrol about 'human rights', 'Ukrainian language', 'discrimination', 'your dignity' or whatever else.

See how well that works.

The team has answered your questions - if you can't comply with the rules, stop wasting everyone's collective time.

Good day!
Thanks for the answer.
Well, if you think that the Ukrainian will not work because there are few Ukrainians, then I will send 2 pages of the passport. She is in Russian!
About the passport - no, I do not lie.
Because I, as a citizen of Ukraine, have the right to choose - a plastic card or a paper passport.
This is my legal right and not an obligation.
Speaking of my obligation to deliver documents in English, you limit my right.
I, as a citizen, have the right to defend my rights in any legal way, including in a court of law.
Moreover, payment receipts in Ukraine are also issued in Ukrainian or Russian.
Moreover, the payment receipts are issued only for one family member.
The payment document cannot be a confirmation of my address.
Confirmation of my address can be letters that come to me in the mail.
Also my address is confirmed in the paper passport.
But registration of my residence is also indicated in UKRAINIAN!
What should I do?
Change passport?
Again, from a legal and ethical point of view, I am right.
Because before the conclusion of the public announcement of the work (bounty), the condition was not made that verification is necessary.
Moreover, the Ukrainian language is even used to file applications to the International Court of Human Rights.
Please articulate discrimination or suggest another way to resolve this issue.

Also, please stop accusing me of lying.
This is slander. Illegal accusations. And you, as a company, do not have the right to degrade my dignity with such statements.


Thanks for the answer. Sincerely.

Ukraine2020,

Per our terms and conditions, we do not accept non-English documents. The only exceptions are in situations where our compliance officers have specific knowledge of the languages and documents submitted, and further clarification.

Currently the world has 37 million native Ukrainian speakers which is approximately 0.4% of the 7.7 billion world's population. Thus unfortunately, at present, for business and other reasons, ATLANT is unable to justify a compliance officer who is versed in the Ukrainian language, and ask you to provide documents in English.

We investigated your claim that “in Ukraine there are no passports or IDs in English”, and it is false. We advise you to study the legislation of Ukraine, or read these articles in Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_passport
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_identity_card

We would like to ask you to kindly stop your ongoing FUD, and provide necessary documents for verification, if you are interested in undergoing KYC/AML on ATLANT.

Regards,
ATLANT Team

Users had an opportunity to withdraw ATL from the dashboard, ico.atlant.io for over a year. As we draw closer to the ATLANT Platform launch, we will be retiring the ico.atlant.io dashboard.

ATL Token Withdrawal

ATLANT team is encouraging everyone to make free withdrawals from their dashboard until 12/31/18 into personal Ethereum addresses. ATL is an ERC-20 token and is compatible with most Ethereum wallets, though we recommend Atlant Android Wallet, Coinomi or MEW for ease of use.

In a gradual phaseout, starting 1/1/19, quantity of ATL equivalent to 3% of each custodied balance observed on 1/1/19, will be deducted from each account daily, as a custody fee. When all dashboard balances reach zero, the dashboard will be retired.

For further help look at instructions on how to withdraw ATL: https://blog.atlant.io/faq-how-to-withdraw-atl-tokens-b9879c56d568 or write to [email protected].

Absolutely agree with that. What is the point of selling tokens at the bottom of the market?
And for diversification should have multiple assets.

Hello!  Thanks!
I once sent a photo of my passport to the support mail.
However, I was told that only English should be used.
What is it like? Indeed, in my country, the state language is Ukrainian. And the documents are on it. 
And bills for utilities are also in Ukrainian.
And what to do?
Generally unfair to change the rules of the game when the work is done.

this is great idea but what if eth got back at under 110$ and next month atlant price go high
my point of view is we should hold atlant tokens and also hold eth
should not invest everything in one project. atlant right now is really cheap and i think its at bottom price selling atlant right now is not a good choice

Atlant ETH prices go up by 4%, you can sell it at ETH and hold your ETH,
if ETH rises to 300-500 dollars, it might be great if you sell it later

Actually if you are afraid to pass your passport, there's another option ,just submit an ID which are government issued.
It will work for KYC verfication and you can go through with the address verification, then of course don't forget the 1 ETH for whitelisting.

Though it's a hard requirement, but when you are entitled to receive a decent number on a monthly basis, you will like to comply with that.

Please look here - here is a sample of our Ukrainian passport.
You can see that there is no English language.



What should we do then?
In general, the terms of the bounty change after the work performed is not fair.
But it's not scary. I am ready to pass verification. But how to do that?
Thank! 

Good day!
This is how can I provide a passport in English, if the passport of a citizen of Ukraine is in Ukrainian?
You want to say that the citizens of Ukraine automatically decriminate because of such an error the usability of the site?
Strange approach.

Helpdesk
With a growing number of KYC support requests, ATLANT team has implemented a ticketing helpdesk system in order to provide timely and responsive support to its users.
Helpdesk is automatically activated by sending email to [email protected]. Each ticket is assigned an individual case number which is tracked throughout the conversation until the issue is fully resolved.

You can also submit a ticket by using the helpdesk portal directly (sign up required): https://helpdesk.atlant.io. Please make sure to use the address which you used to register on ATLANT, when submitting tickets.

Whitelisting
Registration, or whitelisting of Ethereum address(es) on https://trade.atlant.io, in addition to KYC registration, will be required in order to withdraw security tokens / property tokens from the ATLANT Platform.

Both KYC/AML and Ethereum address whitelisting registration are required in order to be fully compliant with applicable regulations, and is consistent with security token functionality. It is also required for the following:

- Withdrawing ATLANT Property Tokens to own wallet
- Benefiting from running a node on the ATLANT Network
- Continuing to participate in ATLANT bounty distribution, Dec, 2018 onwards (provided original ETH Bounty address is whitelisted)

In order to get your Ethereum address whitelisted, please go to the KYC section of https://trade.atlant.io and follow instructions provided. Whitelisting addresses on the blockchain is a quick and fully automated process. Ethereum network maintains a public ledger of verified Ethereum addresses which are whitelisted via ATLANT, therefore, any application or entity may check account’s authenticity on ATLANT without revealing further details about the account. Also, please note that fees for whitelisting are per ATLANT fee schedule.

IMPORTANT : Only whitelist addresses belonging to you (Do not send from crypto exchange addresses)

Tokenization Platform Updates
Along with Whitelisting and Helpdesk functionality, ATLANT team has updated and streamlined parts of the trading engine, added several new widgets, upgraded KYC screen, further refactored front-end functionality, and is working on many more features soon to come. Everyone is encouraged to test the updated beta platform at https://trade.atlant.io and provide relevant feedback in the ATLANT community’s Telegram channel at https://t.me/atlant_eng.

Hello,
You have already received the answer that you need to provide a passport or ID in English.
