Recently, many users have been complaining in the community about account freezes, and a major exchange has issued an official statement. The platform emphasizes that the only basis for determining account ownership is the real-name identity information provided at the time of original registration. In other words, whoever registered with real identity information is the legal owner of the account.

If the original registrant can provide complete and valid identification and declare ownership of the account, the platform will definitely not transfer control of the account to someone who cannot even provide basic identity information and only claims ownership verbally. The logic is quite clear—identity verification determines everything.

The platform also specifically reminds users that buying and selling accounts is a clear violation of rules. Regardless of the reasons given, trading second-hand accounts essentially violates the platform’s user agreement. Therefore, attempting to bypass the verification process by purchasing ready-made accounts carries significant risks.

ngl, this is literally the kyc vs counter-party risk dance all over again... seen this movie before when people tried bridging through sketchy intermediaries lmao. identity verification = the actual attack vector here, not the solution everyone thinks it is

Basically, don't think about taking crooked or illegal paths; real-name information is the key. --- Now those buying accounts should be cautious; the exchange's attitude is very firm this time. --- Haha, finally a platform dares to say it directly: identity verification is non-negotiable. --- Freezing accounts is actually the right move; after all, you guys are involved in secondary transactions. --- So those who got frozen were playing with fire themselves; no wonder the platform took action. --- I just want to know how those who buy accounts are feeling right now... --- This logic is solid; real identity is the ironclad proof, nothing to argue about. --- Want to save trouble but also avoid being frozen? Dream on, everyone. --- It seems from now on, I have to honestly verify myself; there’s no shortcut. --- The platform made it very clear this time: buying and selling accounts is asking for trouble.

Basically, don't think about taking crooked paths. Real-name authentication is unavoidable. Buying and selling accounts is just setting a trap for yourself. I believe it will eventually backfire. This logic isn't wrong; identity information is the evidence chain. If you can't provide it, what are you shouting about? Another wave of poor souls frozen out. They should have known the rules long ago. At the end of the day, accounts are still about who registered them. Want to cheat the system? You're being naive, everyone.

Is that all? Your identity information doesn't match, what else are you thinking? Account buying and selling should have been regulated long ago; too many people have been scammed. To be honest, the authentication process is troublesome, but the logic is sound. Brothers buying second-hand accounts, you should wake up. Why is genuine identity verification so hard to understand? The platform's stance is justified; register yourself and take responsibility. Those who buy accounts just want to be lazy; they should be frozen.

Buyers of accounts, don't blame the platform. This should have been regulated more strictly a long time ago. Blame yourself for being greedy and buying a second-hand account. So, this thing called real-name authentication is unavoidable. Buying and selling accounts? Brother, you're just fighting yourself. As soon as the original owner provides their ID card, your account will be frozen. Got it, from now on, just register honestly yourself. I've long been annoyed by those who flip accounts; serves them right. No one can pass the identity verification, don't waste your effort. Even the cheapest accounts aren't worth this risk, haha. Now it's all over, you probably can't even recover your principal. Still trying to cheat the system? What era are we in?

On-chain data shows that such freezing events are usually triggered within 72 hours after deployment... It is worth noting that the official statement emphasizes that identity verification "decides everything," but how is this implemented at the contract level? I haven't seen the code open-sourced. Based on past experience, such vague statements often conceal operational flexibility.

Basically, don't think about taking shortcuts. The hurdle of real-name registration is unavoidable. Everyone buying accounts should wake up; the freezing is just the beginning. I understand this logic, but why are so many people still rushing to buy small accounts? Identity verification determines everything. What about my old account? Even with real information, it still got frozen. The platform's stance is justified; risk is on you, everyone. Both real-name and authentication, it feels like the exchange's entry barrier is getting higher and higher.

Registering with your real identity is the way to go; those who buy accounts will have to face the consequences.
