Farcaster Verifications are coming soon Verify your account by connecting two socials (X, Phone or GitHub) and holding $25 in your wallet. Verified accounts are less likely to get the spam label and show up higher in the feed, replies and search. They are necessary to earn weekly rewards and qualify for airdrops

I completely understand why you are doing this. But in case it’s helpful feedback: I won’t be able to complete these verifications. Because I don’t have other socials. I also don’t like to associate my phone number to things, as that essentially gives out my IRL identity. So I’m sad that it’s happening. Because I imagine it’ll be the beginning of the end of my time on here. Again, I totally understand why you’re doing it. It does make sense. I just wanted to give you some honest feedback. Thanks :)

Appreciate the feedback thanks. We are thinking through ways to support other users who don’t want to connect socials. Hope to have something soon.

Genuine question- if the number isnt stored after verification, but instead a unique hash to anonymously prevent reuse, what is the risk of identity connection here? Is it for lack of trust of info handling, for the possibility of breech in that moment of verification, possibility of decryption of the anon identifier?
