Explain how you want to see the verification steps. Maybe this is a project equity, or a security deposit to get started. Or limit on the number of participants.
For me personally, it would be enough for the fact that the team went through the verification procedure, gave the funds to an escrow service and also signed papers obliging them to fulfill their obligations.
when part of the team did that I thought that was good news. it will be a lot of real consideration for all developers. they must maintain confidence from investors and the community that supports them.
