Advanced Authentication Case Study for a Cryptocurrency Service: Borabit × ARGOS
A Trust-Based Authentication Environment Built by ARGOS × Borabit
Today, we share the Borabit case, where ARGOS Identity’s remote identity verification (eKYC) solution was adopted to enhance the authentication framework within a cryptocurrency service.
This collaboration goes beyond a simple technical integration it represents one possible answer to a critical question facing crypto services today: how to design trust at the system level.
A New Challenge Facing Cryptocurrency Services: The Problem of Trust
The cryptocurrency market has once again come into focus amid significant volatility. With the expansion of institutional investment, increasing regulatory discussions, and the growth of stablecoins and tokenized assets, crypto is no longer a niche for enthusiasts it is becoming a core component of the financial infrastructure.
At the same time, services are facing persistent challenges such as account takeovers, multiple or duplicate accounts, bonus abuse, illicit transactions enabled by anonymity, and security risks involving third-party services. As a result, authentication in crypto services is no longer just a procedural step it has become a critical infrastructure that directly determines platform trust.
Why Technology-Driven Remote Identity Verification Is Essential
Cryptocurrency services must verify that users are genuine individuals even in fully remote environments, prevent abuse during critical actions such as withdrawals and trading, and still maintain a fast, seamless user experience. When combined with rapidly evolving regulatory requirements, simple information-based checks are no longer sufficient technology-driven remote identity verification (eKYC) has become essential.
Borabit operates its cryptocurrency trading service with trust and user protection as core values. To accurately verify user identities at stages where withdrawals and trading are enabled and to minimize the risk of fraudulent activity Borabit adopted ARGOS’s remote identity verification solution, ID check.
The ARGOS Verification Flow Within the Borabit Service
Borabit operates a tiered authentication structure based on user level. At the basic membership stage, users can register with email verification only, but withdrawals and trading are restricted.
When users upgrade from basic membership to VIP status, they must complete mobile phone verification, bank account verification, and a KYC verification process. The KYC step in this flow is powered by ARGOS ID check.
Once verification is completed, users gain access to withdrawals and trading. At this point, ARGOS ID check serves as a critical gateway verifying identity precisely at the moment when real asset movement and trading become possible.
ARGOS’s authentication solution is designed to combine high accuracy with fast processing speeds, strengthening security without compromising user experience. Borabit also approaches authentication not merely as a regulatory requirement, but as an integral part of the user experience that builds service trust.
Building Trust Infrastructure for Cryptocurrency Services with ARGOS
ARGOS provides a remote identity verification framework optimized for cryptocurrency and blockchain environments helping services secure a base of real users, block fraudulent activity at withdrawal and trading stages, and achieve a balance between operational efficiency and user experience.
The collaboration with Borabit demonstrates that even in cryptocurrency services, trust can be intentionally designed through technology. Going forward, ARGOS will continue to expand trust-driven authentication experiences across industries including blockchain, fintech, platforms, and gaming going beyond compliance to build systems where trust is embedded by design.
