©️Collection Verification

Why does KUNFT verify NFT collections?

The main reason is to make it easier to find the genuine version of the collection you’re looking for. Scammers make fake versions of collections to trick people, so the KUNFT verification mark helps avoid them.

Note: verification on KUNFT DOES NOT constitute an endorsement or recommendation to buy the collection.

What does it mean when a collection is verified?

Verified collections have a blue check mark next to their names.

Collections with this mark have been verified as legitimate and high-volume, or otherwise notable.

• High-volume: Successfully achieved $100,000 or more in cumulative all-time volume on KUNFT (excluding private sales).

• Legitimate: Not maliciously or purposely misrepresenting other collection(s), or soon to be collection(s), with the intent of misleading users for their own profit. For example: creating an exact duplicate of an established collection AND claiming to be part of the established collection team.

• Notable: Closely affiliated with a high-profile public figure or organization, or otherwise culturally relevant.

Note: a collection being verified on KUNFT DOES NOT constitute a recommendation to buy an item in the collection.

Eligibility to request verification

Once a collection has accumulated $100,000 or more in volume on KUNFT (excluding private sales), the owner of the collection will be able to request verification from the collection page.

Does KUNFT verify spin-off, homage, or remix collections?

Yes, sometimes. The main reason for the verification system is to make it easier to find the genuine version of the collection you’re looking for and avoid accidentally buying fakes.

If a spin-off, homage, or remix collection isn’t intentionally misrepresenting itself as a genuine version or affiliate of another collection, it doesn’t fall under the “fake” category for the purposes of KUNFT's verification system.

Does KUNFT verify other kinds of derivative collections?

Derivative collections occupy an unusual position in the NFT community. For example, some unauthorized derivative collections gain significant interest and trading volume. In such cases, so long as their actions aren’t malicious, these collections may be considered “notable”, in which case KUNFT may grant the verified mark. Emphasis on the may.

Again, the mark does not equal endorsement. Its main purpose is to help you make sure you're actually buying the NFTs you want to buy, and not fakes.

Will my collection be automatically verified once verification is requested?

No, verification is currently done manually by our team. We expect to move the verification process to a more decentralized community effort in the future. In certain cases, you may be asked to provide additional information.

KUNFT reserves the right to decline and/or remove verifications, in the event that misrepresentation and/or malicious behavior is found.
