* **Instant KYC:** With Danaya, enable swift and precise onboarding of your users in mere seconds through verification with public and private, up-to-date databases.
* **Comprehensive Identity Checks:** Leverage our selection of ID types for thorough verification, with Danaya accommodating numerous ID forms specifically suited for Ivory Coast.

## Development environment

Danaya offers two distinct environments to support your development and testing requirements:

* **Sandbox Environment:** Utilize our demo environment for integration testing with Test IDs, ideal for validating your integration's performance before it goes live.
* **Production Environment:** Deploy your integration in a live setting to smoothly onboard users and combat fraud. Each environment is designed to provide the same user experience, with the primary difference being the use of simulated data in the sandbox versus actual data in the production environment.
