Compliance and Restrictions

At present, there are no KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements to purchase Node License Keys or operate Horizon nodes. This means you can:

• Purchase Node License Keys without identity verification
• Deploy and operate nodes without providing personal information
• Participate in network operations anonymously

Future Considerations

While we currently maintain an open system, please be aware that:

• Regulatory requirements in the blockchain space are evolving
• We may need to introduce KYC requirements in the future to comply with new regulations
• Any future changes would be communicated well in advance to the community
• Existing node operators would be given adequate time to comply with new requirements

Geographical Restrictions

While we don't restrict node operations by geography, users should:

• Ensure they comply with their local regulations
• Understand their jurisdiction's stance on node operation
• Seek legal counsel if uncertain about their local requirements

Best Practices

We recommend node operators:

• Stay informed about regulatory changes in their jurisdiction
• Follow blockchain industry compliance developments
• Join our community channels to receive updates about any future compliance requirements
• Maintain accurate records of their node operations
