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

Why are we doing this?
There are many inauthentic accounts trying to farm airdrops and rewards.
Completing verifications allows authentic accounts to stand out by proving things that are hard to fake, like having socials on other networks and holding a balance for a long period of time.
How is this rolling out?
Verifications will ship later this week and unverified users will be prompted to complete them.
If you have completed verifications previously, you will automatically be verified.
The verification will show up as a badge on your profile, which will remain private at launch (may become public later)

Some additional notes:
* social accounts must be at least 18 months old
* verified accounts are much less likely to get the spam label (but can still get them if they behave in a way that is spammy or inauthentic)
* verifications do not guarantee that someone is human, but they make it very difficult to spin up a lot of fake accounts quickly. this is very important as storage prices are set to reduce significantly

I feel like this is exactly what @aztecnetwork aims to support (but in a privacy-preserving way)
Also are you active here @clairekart ?
I don't mind having the idle, but given what you write about keeping FC free of what has infested CT, then why the obsession with X as a means of verification. It signals that if you are infested with that madness, you are welcome here. That is not a good sign.
