reply guys

Should Farcaster add a "staking" verification system?  Please reply! 

Users can get "verified" badge by staking $10 USDC in a contract. The stake can be reclaimed at any time, but will only release after a delay (maybe 4-8 weeks). 

Verified users will get the following benefits: 

- Badge on profile. 
- Access to video uploads.
- Show up higher in conversations. 
- A small boost in the rewards program. 

The goal is to make it harder for spammers to verify so that good humans on Farcaster have a better experience!

Constructive & Cool

This is clean.
Staking adds friction for spammers, but $10 USDC is chill enough for real ones to join the fun.
Badge + vid uploads + convo boost = worth it.
Oh yah, it’s finally badge szn for the underdogs 🎖️
