Ethereum

1inch wants KYC just to view their API docs. this is the most solana-coded thing i've yet seen in the ethereum ecosystem

ok, it looks like they do have some API docs public:
https://portal.1inch.dev/documentation/apis/swap/classic-swap/quick-start

...but yes, their "developer portal" asks for KYC to create an account

insane 

do they have any mention on why they need kyc?

still not ideal but feels more par for a centralized exchange vs a DEX aggregator

(almost sure) Coinbase Developer Platform requires KYC too
