Exchanges have their own criteria to be satisfied before a project to get listed on their exchange for coin offering. But they can't vouch for the details and its your responsibility to check whether the details provided by the team is right or fake.
Its is very easy simple though so if you don't want to take such efforts then no one is going to save you.
Topic: If new projects can go through verifications too - page 2. (Read 303 times)
SEC involvement and regulation is the answer and I believe we aren't far from that anymore, KYC can't get the job done, it won't stop scammers from scamming people, all we can do right now is to keep doing strictly deep research on projects before investing money, another good advice is to keep joining IEO from binance exchange or top exchanges, they have their ways of avoiding scammers
If this is to happen, I don't think many scam projects would have been created because there are instances where a project team will steal people's identity in order to look credible and in the end scamming their investors, which is the reason it is advisable to study the team of a project in order to know how credible they are. But the question would be, how can this be actualized when this space was meant to be decentralized, nevertheless I believe top exchanges do verify the project team of any project aiming to carry out IEO on their exchange, and I think this was the reason exit scams witnessed during ICO reduced considerably hence restoring investors confidence.
However, nowadays most projects are claiming to be Defi thus no way to verify the team or even know who they are, this also gives them the opportunity to exit scam as they want. Therefore in my own opinion, I think this might be hard to achieve, thus let's try our best to research on any project we want to invest in before doing so.

Majority of the new projects do not want this to happen and also in regards to the decentralization and freedom which is the main point of a cryptocurrency. Since we saw some active participation of the SEC, alot of these scams has stopped.
Of cos why would they want this to happen? 80% of projects that are coming into crypto space have different plans in mind and they are strictly into money making only, they only pretend to deliver for starter but as time goes on things will change, they will definitely find all means to avoid KYC or any form of regulations 
Im wondering if it's possible for new projects team to go through KYC themselves, why is it always investors going through KYC just to buy presale and tokens in crowdfunding? If teams are going through verifications it will be easier to track them down if they scam people, but how is this ever going to happen? Only top exchanges have such power for example binance, to save their credibility they have to do good screening on the project first, on teams and on projects use case, what do you think will work better ? SEC? Or what?
That's why Binance is the most trusted exchange now and they will going to flourished every time they got some new coins listed on their exchange. Unlike other exchanges like for example Yobit, where most of the unknown coins have been listed, Binance is carefully screening their new partners and it took some time to be listed on their exchanges. I once participated in some of the coins where they want to be listed to Binance exchange and it took them almost 4 months to do so because of the huge numbers of coins to be approved.
I want to answer your question
In my opinion, Kyc on a new project is indeed a bit scary or a new exchange by offering coin rewards can only get our data after Kyc is sold again.
but here as far as I know a forum to discuss altcoins why do you ask about kyc that does not enter the core of the forum? apologize if I am wrong

If all projects were to do verification, majority will fold up, in fact some team will leave willingly because of their shady ways they have been running their project, this would also drastically reduce scams project from misleading the public but since crypto is less regulated, I don see it happening any time soon perhaps in the future.
yes, these hackers are always lurking around the corner to get money from crypto circle...
SEC will function better, I suppose
Verifications on project should be shoulder by investors.
Investors should not always put their money on random projects without doing such research or studies about what they are investing.
KYC to the owner of the project will not work or help the quality of the project. If their project is bad, it is already bad. If they want to scam you, they will scam you, with KYC or no KYC.

Well there are projects that really exposed themselves in the beginning, show their face and identify. But majority are not 'force" to do this, that's why we need to be very careful who to trust to specially if there are no identification from the people behind.
Binance and other top tier platforms are doing verifications first before allowing the project to used their platform for IEO, but if ever they found out after they have been launch that the project is a scam, they will quickly stop the IEO or delist the token on their platform.
Still boils down to the reason that crypto market is open and free and decentralised, that's why we really need to do due diligence.

There are few platform that launches new projects but indeed doing some KYC for the new projects before their endorsed and process through their token sale. I do hope that if ever that project able to scam some investors they could apprehended those people who did KYC. Some dex like polkastarter and possibly centralized IEO on Binance, Kucoin, Huobi, Okex and many more are more reassuring. However this space is filled with degen trading that even not so good platform can manage to do some grip with investors due to hype.
Before KYC, we just need common sense. Newbies fall to these projects no matter how stupid they look, so that's the main issue. I would personally not invest in something that I'm being promised. I mean, people fall into "pay me money and I will give you 2x" scams.. why would we have any kind of expectations?

It is not yet happening because there's no central authority to do this kind of verification. Right now, it is per platform like exchanges are doing their own investigations with the projects, like for example in IEO launchpads. The project needs to meet certain requirements based on exchange's requirements. But I don't think there will be governing body in the future to do this kind of verification thing. This is the reason why users are left to do their own assessment.

KYC means know your customer. You are their customer because you are the one patronizing them to invest in them. Probably you mean team must reveal their identity instead of using stock image or carton which is very rampant now. I believe many of them don't wanna give their identity probably because the project can end up being scam or mismanagement which might result in loss of investors money. However, when you see project with team that have traceable identity. Such project hardly turn to scam. The worst that will happen is to refund investors
For this to work there must be something standing between the investors and the project team, do you ever guess why binance exchange launchpads are scam free? Because they do 💯 screening on the project themselves, this can only happen from a crowdfunding strategy like IEO or probably that MakerDao fundraising too, I heard it's strictly for real projects too
