Think about it. Every new protocol, every chain migration, another round of KYC. Hand over your docs again. Wait for approval again. Like you're a criminal until proven otherwise.
Why does moving between chains feel like crossing borders in the 1980s?
Here's what actually makes sense: verify yourself once. Your data stays yours. Jump between chains whenever you want. No gatekeepers. No begging some protocol to recognize you exist.
Just seamless movement. Your identity follows you, not the other way around.
This isn't rocket science. It's basic respect for users who've been jumping through the same hoops for years.

Having to redo KYC every time I cross chains is just crazy; I feel like a wanted criminal.

Is it that KYC routine again? It's really incredible that I have to verify myself every time.

ngl this is exactly the most frustrating thing about web3 right now—every time you switch to a different chain, you have to verify yourself all over again. It’s honestly absurd.

To be honest, the KYC process is like solving a human restricted area puzzle... Every chain requires re-verification, so whose hands is your data in? It's really so annoying.

ngl this is the most ridiculous thing about web3, every time you cross-chain you have to verify all over again, what does that even remind you of

Seriously, every time I do a cross-chain transaction I have to go through KYC all over again. Who came up with this design...

ngl this is exactly why I'm still using wallet address interactions... Isn't one-time verification with permanent validity great?

ngl this is exactly why I keep saying web3 isn’t ready yet. Every time you bridge across chains, you have to re-verify everything all over again—it’s so annoying.
Web3 identity systems? Broken from the start.
