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!

what pro badge is for, then?

will be a new paid badge every next week? 

why 2 months delay for $10? looks too much

what happens if I want to stake again after withdraw but still delayed

why do you think 10 dollars will stoo anyone? (spammers and botnet owners are not poor and can afford it, money is not a real barrier, just one for the gallery and to say, hey, we do things, widely accepted by the industry but nit solving the problem)

Then that will be very good for those that can't afford the pro badges. Let's add the staking abd we can see out it play out. Thank you @v 🎭 19👏
