Onboarding Friction for High-Volume Polymarket API Trading

Anyone else finding the KYC/AML process for integrating larger accounts with Polymarket's API surprisingly cumbersome, particularly when trying to route through certain payment service providers for higher transaction limits? The back-and-forth feels more suited to traditional finance than a platform built on blockchain principles. This friction significantly impedes efforts to deploy more capital efficiently, making it tough to scale strategies around $ETH price predictions or election outcomes where tight timing is crucial.

I've definitely experienced similar frustrations. While I understand the need for robust KYC/AML, it does feel counterintuitive to the agility often associated with blockchain, especially when trying to scale operations. Have you explored any alternative payment gateways or institutional-grade custodians that might streamline the process?

I've hit similar walls; the payment provider integration can be a real bottleneck. Are you finding specific providers more problematic than others, or is it a general issue with the scale Polymarket expects?
