I should have asked, what wallet or service are you using that is requiring KYC to swap between Bitcoin and liquid?
In other words, who’s asking you to doxx yourself? Lol
I’m pretty positive that KYC is not a requirement to use liquid. But I wouldn’t be at all surprised if certain exchanges require it…
I just read your river link too. I would assume “verified address” means an address you specified or authorized when you swapped in to Liquid. Some way to indicate that the peg-out is going where you intended… But tbh I’m not sure.
