## 1. Essential information for joining the solver competition

### Requirements for joining the CoW DAO bonding pool
The general KYC requirements are to send us documentation proving that you are the beneficial owners of the company behind the solver and 1-2 passports of some of the main developers of the solver. Do not send this before the meeting, we will explain the process during the meeting so that you can send the documents afterwards.
The general KYC requirements are to send us:

- Incorporation details of the company behind the solver that includes details of who the shareholders are
- One or two passports of the main shareholders and developers of the solver

Do not send this before the meeting, we will explain the process during the meeting so that you can send the documents afterwards. We usually expect the KYC process to take about 1 to 3 working days, but it may vary.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Clarify which people’s passports are required.

Line 31 is still ambiguous about scope: “one or two passports of the main shareholders and developers” can mean one or two passports total, or passports for whichever people CoW considers “main.” Please spell out exactly whose documents are needed; otherwise teams can show up with the wrong KYC packet. While touching this, Line 33 should read “Do not send these before the meeting … afterward” for agreement and consistent US English.

In `@docs/cow-protocol/tutorials/solvers/onboard.md` around lines 30 - 33, Revise
the ambiguous passport requirement sentence ("one or two passports of the main
shareholders and developers") to explicitly list whose passports are
required—e.g., "one or two passport copies for each main shareholder and for
each core developer listed on the solver team"—so teams know to include
passports for every named main shareholder and every listed developer; also
update the following sentence to US English by changing "Do not send this before
the meeting, we will explain the process during the meeting so that you can send
the documents afterwards" to "Do not send these before the meeting; we will
explain the process during the meeting so that you can send the documents
afterward."


Given the risk that will be carried by the CoW DAO bonding pool we also ask that solvers who join the solver competition through the CoW DAO bonding pool start solving on Arbitrum first. After being in production on Arbitrum solvers can move to other L2's relatively easily. But joining the mainnet competition will require further evaluation after some time of solving on L2's.
