1. Purposes and Basis
Crypto Engine LLC is committed to providing its Users a lawful and secure environment. We believe that money laundering and terrorist financing are harmful to the Digital Assets ecosystem and to the legitimate interests of Users.
Crypto Engine LLC has a global reach and serves Users in many countries. We are committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering and terrorist financing.
We have robust anti-money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT) policies and practices designed to prevent these activities from happening through Services. We take a proactive approach to AML/CFT and are constantly working to improve our systems and procedures.
2. Scope
This Policy applies to all Users who use the Services. Users must comply with all applicable AML/CFT laws and regulations in their country or region where they are located.
3. User Identification & KYC
We may request identification for users under certain conditions, including but not limited to:
- Exceeding a predefined payout threshold;
- Unusual mining activity or rapid changes in hashrate;
- Suspicious or irregular wallet use;
- Requests involving fiat transactions (if supported in the future).
KYC Documentation May Include:
- Full legal name;

Crypto Engine LLC reserves the right to refuse access to the Service, freeze payouts, or terminate accounts if a user fails to complete KYC when requested.

Higher-risk users or transactions may be subject to enhanced due diligence (EDD), including additional documentation or manual review.

- Sudden or large changes in hashrate or wallet;
- Use of anonymizing services (e.g., mixers, Tor);
- Payouts to known or suspected illicit wallets;
- Unusual patterns inconsistent with legitimate mining.
Suspicious activity may be reported to relevant financial intelligence units (FIUs) in accordance with U.S. regulatory requirements.
