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!

A lot of spammers spent $120 to get a pro badge. I think this is a worthwhile experiment.

Me too. May I ask a question Miss Pichi? If someone's score is slow in adding up and sometimes reduces, does it mean that person is spam labeled?

It's why I think the badge should have been earned through an honest means before being eligible to buy.
