The aim of the Czech Crypto Association is to ensure that the provision of cryptocurrency services in the Czech Republic is of a high standard and that the entire cryptocurrency industry is perceived positively in the Czech Republic.
The highest level of membership in the ČKMA is therefore only available to companies that meet a wide range of qualitative requirements, grouped in the so-called ČKMA Certification Program.
Certification Content
A preview of the certification questionnaire is publicly available at the link below, allowing prospective members to prepare for the certification in advance. At the same time, it serves as a guide for all other companies in the industry, highlighting key areas of focus to ensure compliance with legal regulations while also meeting the criteria outlined in the Association's Ethical Code and the Standards of Conduct for Cryptocurrency Markets. These standards form a set of recommended guidelines for all entities operating in the cryptocurrency sector, promoting the values described above.
Certification Process
A company that wishes to undergo certification and become a certified member with all associated rights contacts us via the contact form. The company then receives a membership application along with the certification questionnaire. The applicant completes the questionnaire and submits it for evaluation by ČKMA representatives. If any responses or supporting documents are deemed insufficient, the applicant receives feedback and has the opportunity to make corrections and resubmit the questionnaire. Multiple revision rounds may be necessary.
Once the applicant submits certification materials that meet all criteria, certification is granted. Membership begins as soon as the membership fees for the upcoming period are paid, and the company is then listed on the website as a certified member.
The evaluation process is confidential and accessible only to ČKMA members. Certification is not guaranteed—ČKMA reserves the right to deny certification without providing a reason.
Certification and Membership in ČKMA
It is possible to become a member of ČKMA without completing the certification process. However, non-certified members have limited influence over the Association’s activities. For details on membership levels, please refer to the "Membership Conditions" page.
Certification Validity
Certification is valid for one calendar year. After one year, it must be renewed through a reassessment of the certified criteria. Details on the renewal process will be sent to members via email.
