Does Polymarket require KYC?

No. Polymarket does not require identity verification. You connect a crypto wallet and trade with USDC on Polygon. There is no identity check, no document upload, and no SSN requirement. This is one of the main reasons traders outside the US prefer Polymarket over regulated alternatives like Kalshi, which requires full KYC including government ID and Social Security number.
