Introduction

One of the key pillars of the Polymesh blockchain is Identity.
Polymesh enables a way for asset originators to ascertain the uniqueness of the investors in their asset. This is achieved by publishing a commitment on-chain called an Investor Uniqueness Claim.

About Investor Uniqueness Claims

As an issuer, you can decide and configure whether your asset requires Investor Uniqueness or not. If the asset will need compliance rules on percent ownership, then you will need a way to prove that multiple on-chain identities are the same person (i.e. onboarded with multiple CDD providers).

This requirement can be turned on when you first configure your asset in the Token Studio:

Turn it on if:

• You want to ensure that if one entity invests from multiple DIDs (identities) they are linked together as one entity for compliance purposes.
• The asset will need compliance rules on percent ownership, and then you will need a way to prove that multiple on-chain identities are the same person (i.e. onboarded with multiple CDD providers).

Please note: This setting can’t be changed afterward.
