In order to use the Byzantine Prime application, an individual user needs to go through a KYC process. This is a regulatory obligation for individuals.
Before creating the individual account, the user must accept the required terms. See Terms and Conditions.

​
1. Create the individual account

The creation of the individual account is done by calling this API endpoint:

Create an individual account

Only the following fields are required to create the account:
  • firstName, lastName, email (in userInfo)
  • byzantineTermsSignedAt
The individual user will receive an accountId and a userId.
If you want to register a user’s passkey at account creation, include the authenticators field in the create call. If no passkey is added at creation, OTP authentication is automatically set up for the user — and OTP will then be required to add a passkey later through a dedicated endpoint.

​
2. Complete the application

Once the account is created, use the update endpoint to progressively provide the remaining information needed for KYC verification:

Update an individual account

The following information can be submitted via one or multiple update calls:
The response of both the create and update endpoints will include a missingDocuments field listing any remaining required documents that have not yet been submitted.

​
3. KYC verification

Byzantine and Bridge will verify the individual’s identity and address. Both Bridge and Byzantine may ask for additional details during this process. Throughout the KYC process, the user receives email notifications at every stage with updates on their status.
The KYC process usually takes only a few minutes.
