Is application for researchers open for those interested to apply?
as far as i know you don't need to apply to become a researcher as long as you have their token they called it MZX if i'm not mistaken you can be a part of the research as a contributor and you will rewarded if you give the right information in the research that is my understanding when i read the white paper correct me if i'm wrong
You cant just be a researcher because you have MZX tokens, you need to be vettted, and accredited to be one.
Do you mean we have to perform KYC first to become an accredited researcher?
If we have to, are there other procedures other than KYC to have the position?
Yes its in their white paper that you need submit KYC documents. You need to register using your real name and submit documents like government issued ID, proof of address etc.
I dont think there are other options but I maybe wrong.
