"No KYC" is a compliance term that means nothing to a video buyer and
reads as evasion to everyone else. /services/seedance made this call on
2026-09-02; this extends it to the docs the site serves at /docs.
The substance stays — no government ID, no account login, no name
verification are all true and all more credible stated plainly. What
goes is the jargon frame.
- realface.md / virtual-portrait.md frontmatter descriptions: these are
the live <meta name="description"> on blockrun.ai today.
- The two ":::note{title=\"No KYC required\"}" callouts became "Liveness
check only" and "No liveness check" — the axis on which the two
products actually differ, which two identical headlines were hiding.
- realface.md's comparison row "KYC / government ID" -> "Government ID".
- video-generation.md's "KYC?" table column, models.md, python.md.
- VISION.md and README.md carried the same claim outside docs/.
Kept, as ordinary-sense uses: kyc.byteintl.com in the example payloads,
the Twilio carrier regulatory (KYC) constraints in voice-phone.md, the
surf.md comparison row describing what an alternative requires, and
every dated changelog entry — a dated post is a measurement, and
rewriting one misrepresents what was published that day.
RealFace still states its ~1-minute on-phone liveness check on every
surface; Virtual Portrait still states it has none.

Owner ruling: stop writing "No KYC" anywhere. It is a compliance term that means nothing to a buyer and reads as evasion.
/services/seedancein the site repo made this call on 2026-09-02 and left the reasoning in a comment; this extends it to the docs the site serves at/docs.These are live and indexed right now.

The rule: delete the term, keep the fact. Where a sentence already listed the specifics ("no government ID, no account login, no name verification"), the
No KYClead-in was deleted outright rather than substituted — the specifics say it better and more credibly.realface.mdandvirtual-portrait.md.:::note{title="No KYC required"}callouts retitled to "Liveness check only" (RealFace) and "No liveness check" (Virtual Portrait).

The site repo's
fix/drop-no-kyc-claimcarries a guard test that sweepsdocs/**for exactly this claim. Verified load-bearing: against the currently-pinned docs tree it fails with 17 unexempted hits; against this branch it passes 13/13. That PR bumps the submodule pointer, so this one lands first.
