Why did this list of supported countries change? 

The rules for what countries can be served are complicated and we took a conservative approach for the launch of the wallet. 

We did a deeper legal analysis and now understand that we can support these countries while staying compliant with US laws.

Why does Warpcast not support some countries? 

Warpcast is available wherever the App Store and Play Store are available. But the Wallet and Rewards program are not offered in specific regions. This is because we are a US-based company that has to follow certain laws and regulations.

This is amazing! Kudos to the team! So many folks are going to be thrilled when they see this!

idk how this is sanction compliant based on my experience in AML and KYC but I worked for a company that took the most conservative legal approach under a Democrat run admin. I'm glad you guys found a way to make this work!

Great! But what about Persian (IRAN)? JFYI, if you genuinely aim to both comply with the laws and deliver services to your users, it’s essential to review additional documents like D-2.

I’m confident there are numerous solutions available, as the people themselves are not part of any political system.

According to Article 22 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), no restrictions may be placed on the exercise of the right to freedom of association with others, except those prescribed by law and necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public safety, public order, the protection of public health or morals, or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

This emphasizes that collective punishment or restriction based on nationality—such as denying access to services solely because someone is from a certain country—is not in line with international human rights standards, especially when the people themselves are not involved in political decisions.

I think it's great that yours can reconsider and enable us.

Glad to see a more nuanced legal review open things up. It's wild how complex it all is behind the scenes. 

Some days it feels like hope is the only thing we’re allowed to have. But yeah… I still carry a little for Nigeria
