Can someone from the official team explain to the community why KYC was announced AFTER added their wallet to the Super Staking Rewards program? If this is a glorified airdrop which by all means it appears to be, why was KYC invoked? Wallet openers with Algo in their wallets currently receive rewards, right? If it is the commitment to time (2 years) what statute/guideline/regulation is being referenced? Last I heard, Algo wasn’t designated as being a security.
