# Stobox 4 KYC and DID Explained

### Intro

A Stobox4 account is associated with your RWA Wallet and your Identity. This means each account is tied to an individual user, and each person can have only one account on the Stobox4 platform.

Passing KYC is essential to:

* unlock interactions with the RWA infrastructure,
* confirm that all actions are performed by the actual owner of the account,
* ensure compliance with local and international laws.

Stobox4 operates as a licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider under EU regulation. More information about regulations and compliance can be found at the [→link←](https://blog.stobox.io/stobox-achieves-vasp-license/).

### Stobox DID

Stobox DID is a personal user Decentralized Identity that represents you in Web3 for validation and verification.

To interact with the Stobox Web3 infrastructure and the STV3 protocol, you need a valid Stobox DID that is permanently tied to your Identity and RWA Wallet.

Stobox DID contains encrypted user-related data used to verify that you have certain permissions and are eligible to interact with different parts of the Stobox ecosystem and smart contracts without disclosing your actual data (based on Zero-Knowledge Proof principles).

To learn more about Stobox DID and how it works, please check this[ →link←](https://docs.stobox.io/did).

After you successfully pass KYC, you can create your Stobox DID with a single click. During DID generation, the system encrypts your user data, links it to your RWA Wallet, and writes it to a dedicated smart contract.

After the DID is successfully created, you can participate in the Stobox Web3 ecosystem as a verified user, unlocking smart-contract interactions, RWA token and digital asset transfers, participation validation, signatures, and more.
