The whole point of Nouns (imo) is to run an experiment in continuous, permissionless capital formation and distribution. I know the Foundation is thinking about this deeply but I hope that there is an alternative path that doesn’t require KYC for recipients. It breaks the hyperstructure and makes the experiment much less interesting.

If this is the only option to keep Nouns “alive” in the face of the regulatory environment then I get it. Most if not all recipients incl. myself would happily KYC. Just ideologically it’s not as cool

We agree in spirit; to the best of my understanding we have to do this..
