Kinda sucks that the pro badge looks exactly like a purple version of the X/Twitter checkmark. I remember when that mark meant you were a verified person with a verified name, not a social signal that you can afford to pay for extra features.

I honestly wonder what the verification will look like or if it will be visible.

I don't think they've said anything about personhood verification being one of the features they add for pro

First Draft Club

2.  New Verifications are coming and they are important. Verification WILL affect how you show up in replies and your engagement/reach and therefore rewards and potentially your airdrops (imagine some teams will only target verified users). 

You will need to verify 2 out of 3 of the following: phone number, Twitter account older than 18 months, GitHub older than 18 months.  Other verifications will come in time. The team heard feedback and said there will also be a category for Farcaster natives who have proven themselves to be good casters. There is little detail here but they did say if you have been earning rewards, there is a good chance you will meet the threshold. 

This WILL affect your engagement so it’s going to be critical to watch. V has been casting about this the most. It’s changed a lot since the initial announcement so it’s worth reading up on because this will have deep affects on the network.

It’s not for pro. Totally separate. But it’s coming soon.

Ahh gotcha. Interesting that there will be more of a focus on those verification methods. I wonder if they'll ever adopt true proof of personhood like World
