Today, the official BuidlPad updated a message inviting users of Solayer's Emerald card to participate in the community distribution of Sahara: If you are a user of Solayer's Emerald card, just register and log in to Buidlpad using your address, and then follow the steps here.
Chicken Brother thought at first glance, can holding the Emerald card allow him to skip KYC and participate in the Sahara new issuance.
It is well known that Buidlpad restricts KYC for Chinese users. To participate in ICOs, you can only buy the old black KYC, which costs $25 and is also unsafe. The profits from Solayer's first community ICO exceed 800u.
The cost to open the Emerald card is 75u, and if you can successfully participate in the ICO, then participating in the first phase will easily cover your costs.
Solayer's Emerald card:
The Emerald card is a globally usable cryptocurrency Visa card officially launched by Solayer on April 15, supporting USDC deposits to earn 4% U.S. Treasury yield, and providing users with an Emerald card reward program.
On May 12, Solayer and Nubit reached a partnership, and holders of the Solayer Emerald card will receive Bitcoin worth between $5 and $100.
The Emerald card supports mainland Chinese users to use ID cards, passports, and driver's licenses for verification. The current card opening fee is 75u.
Rate:
Recharge fee: 1%
Transaction fee rate: $0.15 for each dollar transaction, international transaction $0.1 + 1.5%
The biggest benefit is that it supports linking to Alipay.
Test whether it is possible to skip the new KYC certification.
Chicken Brother will act as a guinea pig and spend 75u to register one for testing.
1. Prepare 75u of USDC on the Solana chain, visit app.solayer.org on your phone or computer, click to purchase, and you can use my invitation code [WPC4YK].
2. Conduct KYC, KYC supports mainland China, and you can fill in your real address information, it is very easy to pass.
3. After verification, you will receive a Visa card that can be linked to Alipay.
It's a tragedy; Chicken Brother wasted money.
However, the unfortunate thing is that Sahara still requires KYC, so the 75u spent by Chicken Brother was in vain. From his perspective, holding this card makes it easier to pass anti-witch detection for larger ICO limits. So if someone says the Emerald card can bypass KYC, don’t believe it; Chicken Brother has already tested it, and it doesn’t work.
The advantage of the Emerald card is that it can be linked to Alipay.
Of course, this card is not without its benefits; since it supports linking to Alipay, it can be used for daily spending, and the previous withdrawal methods are also available.
You can casually buy a merchant code for 50 cents on Pinduoduo, and there are many other ways.
Register as a small micro merchant to receive payments, and you can withdraw normally without worrying about the card being frozen.
Below, Chicken Brother tested a transaction of 15 yuan, arriving at 14.92, the loss of USDC is 2.13u, and the exchange rate is calculated at 7.00:
