What do these PinkSale badges mean

KYC Badge
KYC = Know Your Customer
- This badge means the project team has submitted personal identification to PinkSale for verification.
- Helps prevent rug pulls and scams by holding founders accountable.
- Investors feel safer knowing the team is known to PinkSale — even if not public.
Key Point: The team’s identity is verified privately by PinkSale, not always doxxed publicly.
Audit Badge
- Indicates that the smart contract code has been audited by a third-party security firm.
- Checks for vulnerabilities, backdoors, and scam code.
- Common auditors: SolidProof, Dessert Finance, Cyberscope, TechRate, etc.
Key Point: This adds technical trust — but audits don’t guarantee safety. Always review the audit report.
SAFU Badge
SAFU = Secure Asset Fund for Users
- Projects with this badge have gone through an additional screening process by PinkSale.
- Often includes stricter audit and KYC procedures.
- The term “SAFU” originated from Binance and signals a higher standard of investor protection.
Key Point: SAFU projects are less likely to be scams, according to PinkSale’s internal vetting.
DOXX Badge
- Means the project team has publicly revealed their identities.
- You’ll typically see:
- Full names
- LinkedIn profiles
- Team bios
- Sometimes video intros
Key Point: A doxxed team = public accountability. It reduces the chances of exit scams.
