Inkryptus V2.0: KYC Tiers, FIAT On-Ramp, and a Redesigned Crypto App

Inkryptus V2.0 introduces optional KYC tiers, a FIAT on-ramp via a payment processor, and a fully redesigned interface. Here's what changed and why.

Inkryptus V2.0 introduces three major changes: optional KYC verification with tiered withdrawal limits, the ability to buy USDT directly with your local currency through Simplex, and a fully rebuilt app interface. If you're an existing user, nothing has been removed, this update adds on top of what's already there.

What are the new KYC tiers on Inkryptus?

Inkryptus V2.0 introduces two account levels with different withdrawal limits. Bronze requires no KYC verification and allows withdrawals of up to US$500 per month. Silver requires a short KYC verification process and raises the monthly withdrawal limit to US$500,000.

Both limits reset on the first day of each month at 00:00:01 UTC. KYC for Silver accounts takes a few minutes to complete inside the app. Users who don't need higher withdrawal limits can stay on Bronze with no action required.

Account tierKYC requiredMonthly withdrawal limit
BronzeNoUS$500
SilverYes (a few minutes)US$500,000

How does the new FIAT on-ramp work?

Inkryptus V2.0 adds a dedicated "Buy" screen inside the app that lets users purchase USDT using their local currency. The on-ramp is powered by Simplex, a licensed payment processing partner.

To use it, you select your country, currency, and payment method. The options include credit card, bank transfer, and local payment alternatives depending on your region. USDT is credited to your Inkryptus wallet immediately after the transaction is confirmed.

This screen is separate from the existing Buy/Sell screen. The "Buy" screen is for converting local currency into crypto. The "Buy/Sell" screen is for exchanging between crypto assets already in your Inkryptus wallet.

What changed in the app interface?

The full app interface has been rebuilt in V2.0. Navigation has been simplified, and the wallet view now shows all your holdings in a single screen without additional taps. Asset detail pages, transaction history, and staking information have been reorganized to reduce the steps needed to find key information.

The update also improves app performance: load times are faster and navigation is more responsive than in V1.

Why did V2.0 focus on these three changes?

The three changes in V2.0 address the main barriers that first-time users in East Africa hit when starting with crypto. Users who don't yet hold crypto need a way to acquire USDT without leaving the app, the Simplex on-ramp solves this. Users who are cautious about identity verification can now start on Bronze with no KYC and upgrade to Silver when they need higher withdrawal limits. And a cleaner interface reduces the learning curve for users who are new to the product.

What features are still available in V2.0?

All core Inkryptus features remain unchanged in V2.0. Users can:

  • Deposit crypto from an external wallet into their Inkryptus wallet

  • Buy and sell crypto assets through the Buy/Sell screen

  • Put crypto into staking to receive rewards distributed from a programmed on-chain emission, verifiable on BscScan

  • Withdraw to external wallets, subject to the tier limits above

Nothing has been removed from the previous version.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to complete KYC to use Inkryptus?

No. KYC is optional. Bronze accounts on Inkryptus require no identity verification and allow withdrawals of up to US$500 per month. KYC is only required to upgrade to a Silver account, which raises the monthly withdrawal limit to US$500,000.

What payment methods does the FIAT on-ramp support?

The Simplex-powered "Buy" screen supports credit card, bank transfer, and local payment options depending on your country and currency. Available methods are displayed when you select your country inside the app.

Is the new "Buy" screen the same as the Buy/Sell screen?

No. The "Buy" screen is for purchasing USDT with local (fiat) currency using Simplex. The "Buy/Sell" screen is for trading between crypto assets already held in your Inkryptus wallet. Both screens are available in V2.0.

What blockchain does Inkryptus use for staking?

Inkryptus staking runs on BNB Smart Chain. The INKY token is a BEP-20 token, and all staking and reward operations are recorded on-chain and verifiable through BscScan. Staking rewards come from a programmed daily on-chain emission, split proportionally among all active stakers.
