# kycDAO Validator options

    • Integration should happen at contract level, see our guide here: Quickstart

    • Used when projects only need trusted front-end. It can achieved via using the kycNFT's validity status and works across multiple chains as long as the blockchain address is the same.
    • All kycDAO SDKs are equipped with this function. We recommend replacing the RPC service for maximum user-privacy.
    • NOTE: A direct smart contract call can circumnavigate this function.
  • showcase kycNFT in UI
