Uh, no. By becoming member of idena, you are validating your identity in anonymous (non-KYC) way. By validating yourself, you prove to the idena network that you are unique person and with that you can run your own idena node and receive rewards.
Idena is really unique the only one with this kind of algo, there are so many changes and so many new features implemented, it's much easier to pass validation now, compared to a year ago, I'm still hoping that it can get listed in a much better exchange like Kucoin or Binance, so it gets the attention, it deserves to be in a good position in the market.
