I agree that the project team must also confirm their identity, it will protect us from a large number of scams. Today, we can only judge a team if we study their profiles on Linkedin. But we can't really know if it's the same person. After passing KYC, developers will get more confidence from potential users and investors.
We have ICO bench to verify ICO owners identity while in the mastenode ecosystem we have KYD or know your developer as a KYC procedure. But its not enough to stop scammers from launching their project since ID's and Selfie Documents are available in the dark market and they can easily use those to verify their fake profiles.
