Have you ever wondered whether the transaction you made on the chain was "seen" by others?

In fact, whenever you transfer funds through an exchange or wallet, there is an invisible checking mechanism operating behind the scenes — this is KYT.

**What is KYT?**

Full name: Know Your Transaction, which simply means conducting real-time compliance reviews of on-chain transactions. Currently, almost all leading exchanges and mainstream wallets have integrated this system.

**Why is KYT necessary?**

In plain terms, regulatory authorities need to ensure the compliance of cryptocurrency asset flows. Through KYT, platforms can identify risky transactions, trace suspicious fund flows, and prevent illegal activities such as money laundering. For users, this is also a necessary measure for platforms to reduce their own compliance risks.

So every transfer you make is subject to compliance review. This is not a bad thing; rather, it is a sign that the entire Web3 ecosystem is moving toward standardization.
