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

Guess I need a github even though I can't code. Not doing phone. Good way to get simswaped.

99% of crypto scams are from verified accounts, which scammers buy on the secondary market...

"social accounts must be at least 18 months old" all or at least one? I started using X at the same time as warpcast, but my github was created much earlier

My linkedIn and twitter accounts are among the early ones on those platforms, but my github and disscord are about a year old, created before I joined Farcaster!

What about all the various web3 approaches that offer proof of legitimacy leveraging blockchain history etc (you didn't forget about the blockchain history thing did you?) If we're building in web3 and we can't legitimise an account with web3 methods.... something is badly wrong.

I don't agree with one requirement here. One year old social accounts should be enough to qualify. I don't understand the logic behind 18 months tbh

You know there was a coinbase leak just 3 days ago? And also why do I need to have 25 dollar? What if I don’t have them?
