What This Means for You

1. Execution is Disabled

If our systems detect that you are connecting from a restricted jurisdiction:
  • Trading is Blocked: You will not be able to place, buy, or sell orders.
  • Wallet Restrictions: You may be unable to generate a wallet or deposit funds.
  • Read-Only Access: You may still be able to access the platform in “Read-Only” mode to view charts, analytics, and public market data, but you cannot interact with the blockchain.

2. VPN & Circumvention Policy

Strict Prohibition on Circumvention We actively monitor for the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), proxy services, and other location-masking tools.Do not attempt to bypass these restrictions. If you are found to be accessing execution features from a restricted jurisdiction via a VPN:
  • Your account may be immediately suspended.
  • Your trading privileges will be revoked.
  • You may be permanently banned from the platform.

Why do we restrict these areas?

Kiyotaka operates as an interface for decentralized prediction markets. Many of these markets (such as Polymarket) settle on blockchain networks and face specific regulatory constraints in the jurisdictions listed above (e.g., CFTC regulations in the US). We adhere to these standards to ensure the long-term stability and compliance of the platform.
