The Road to Legitimacy: Earning Your PoG Iron Badge

Welcome to the Proof of Governance (PoG) system! For Meme and NFT projects, the Iron Tier is your starting line. It’s designed to be quick, focused, and immediately verifiable, offering the basic transparency required to separate your project from the 99% of unverified scams.

Your first objective is simple: Earn the KYC Iron Badge and secure your project’s foundation with a verified identity. This is the fastest way to signal to potential community members and centralized exchanges that your team is real and accountable.

Step-by-Step Flow to Achieve the KYC Iron Badge

The Iron Tier verification is a non-custodial process focusing on two critical checks: Organizational Identity (KYB) and Individual Identity (KYC), with an emphasis on basic security controls. 

Phase 1: Preparation & Application (1-2 Days)

 Your journey begins by setting up the foundational security elements that prevent instantaneous "rug pulls." 

Phase 2: KYC & Identity Verification (Minutes to Hours

This is the most crucial part of earning the Iron Badge. The KYC process confirms the real-world identity of your Fiduciary Team, tying the digital entity to an accountable person. 

Phase 3: Final Minting & Status Update

Once all checks pass, your Iron Badge is instantly minted and activated. 

The Next Level: Bronze Tier ($10M+ Market Cap)

Once your project hits and maintains the $10 Million Market Cap or TVL threshold (your first major market gate), the governance journey gets harder, as your fiduciary duty to your community escalates.


To move to the Bronze Tier, you will need to prove Enhanced Transparency. This requires moving beyond basic KYC to include Disclosed Treasury reporting and a formal Verified Source Code review, ensuring that as you grow, you are not operating in the shadows like FTX.
