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!

Probably much better than the PRO thing, IMO PRO was a huge mistake, and the whole thing made me lose most of my interest in the farcaster ecosystem. In principle, because all PRO stuff was added first to the app and later to the protocol. IMO, this can repair some of the damage PRO has inflicted, as it has some advantages: - lower barrier for most real users that are interested in farcaster - a way to get in and out - much more crypto-friendly system My intuition tells me this would have been much better from the start.
