# Do Referrals Have to Complete KYC?

Yes. The invitee must successfully complete the KYC (Identity Verification) process before the inviter, and the invitee can receive the USDC BONUS reward.

This policy is in place to prevent bonus abuse and ensure that rewards are distributed fairly to genuine users. By requiring verification, we can protect the platform's reward system from being exploited by automated or malicious accounts.
