Legislators all over the world are beginning to look into ways to regulate the cryptocurrency world and ICOs. Regulators have yet to create a uniformed approach to regulating the cryptocurrency space. This brings much uncertainty to the industry.
Unfortunately with the current lack of regulatory certainty this means that many people who want to invest in an ICO for its utility (to disrupt/improve current industries) feel as though they are at risk of appearing as money launderers, criminals etc. As national legislators look to create balance between protecting investors from scams and not limiting them from investing, ICOs should also take the initiative to insure they are not putting their investors at risk. While national legislation has been often absent and unclear, (KYC) which is KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER is a big concept widely known in global finance.
ICO providers need to know vital information about their investors or risk regulatory scrutiny. While the development of blockchain has been based on the belief to free people from the domination of governments and banking monopolies, it doesn’t change the fact that trading parties have a legitimate interest to know some certain information about their counterparty. ICO’s need to know if their investors have for example, links to terrorism and organised crime.

KYC is a term often used in ICO projects. Actually, this KYC has been applied to banks so they can find out the customer's identity. The purpose of ICOs that often use KYC to participate in projects is to avoid multiple accounts and speed up the process of sharing tokens if the project is completed.

KYC is important to follow projects to avoid multiple accounts that often occur in the bounty world. But before giving kyc, I suggest to be careful. Make sure you provide personal data to projects that are truly legitimate. Because giving kyc to a scam project is risky.
