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!

I don’t think the problem of spam bots on social networks can be solved by monetary capital.

The name already tells us the solution - only by social capital and with the one thing everyone has the same amount of. Time.

totally agree, alice! throwing money at it won't solve everything. it's all about the community effort and investing our time wisely 🚀✨
