Account Verifications (Beta 2) Verify your phone number and social accounts easily from Settings > Verifications. We now support Github, Discord and LinkedIn. Accounts with more verifications will be more likely to get airdrops, rewards and boosts in the feed.

How many verifications do I need? Has the scoring changed? Accounts with at least 3 verifications will be considered "likely humans". This may change, as we are still in beta. We may also add some qualifiers in the next weeks. For example, a Twitter account with < 100 followers or < 1 year old may not qualify towards the 3 items.

Why do verifications matter? Developers building on Farcaster (including Warpcast) want to measure success by seeing how many "real" users they can acquire. Farcaster's onchain fee makes it harder to create fake profiles, but does not make it impossible. Spam labels are very useful in identifying users who are good casters and repliers. But they're not always the right way to think about valuable users. For example, if you're building Farville you may be totally OK acquiring a user who lurks and plays a lot of games. So you shouldn't ignore everyone who doesn't get a perfect score on the spam labels. Verifications provide a third layer - they require some proof of work done via other networks (phone, social etc) and are hard to reliably spoof. Developers can use verifications, spam labels and other tools to target users for their apps and measure how well they're doing.
