8. Connection to Broader Farcaster Ecosystem The scoring system ties into Farcaster’s broader goals of fostering a decentralized, user-controlled social media platform. It complements features like Frames (interactive apps within posts) and aligns with its $150 million funding, signaling ambitions to scale and compete with centralized platforms like Twitter. Related web results highlight Farcaster’s use of social graph data, peer-to-peer actions (e.g., follows, recasts), and on-chain verifications to build trust and reputation, which may influence how scores are calculated or evolve in the future. In summary, Farcaster’s scoring system is a multi-factor verification mechanism that rewards users for linking established, active accounts and wallets, assigning points and levels to ensure trust, reduce spam, and prepare for enhanced visibility. It’s a key part of Farcaster’s strategy to create a secure, decentralized social network while leveraging its blockchain foundation.

7. Limitations and Challenges Some users, as seen in replies to the post (e.g., @0xSlimeOG ), reported issues like not receiving verification codes, indicating potential technical hurdles in the rollout. The system’s reliance on external accounts (X, phone numbers, wallets) might exclude users without access to these resources or raise privacy concerns.

6. Practical Steps for Users To earn points and achieve a verification level, users need to: Open the Warpcast app on their phone. Navigate to Settings > "Verifications" tab. Connect their X account, phone number, and crypto wallet. The more robust and active these linked profiles are, the higher the points earned, pushing users toward Level 1 or Level 2.

5. Technical and Decentralized Context Farcaster’s scoring system leverages its blockchain-based infrastructure, potentially integrating with on-chain verification tools like the Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS) mentioned in related web results. This ensures secure, tamper-proof identity verification. The system aligns with Farcaster’s decentralized nature, focusing on user autonomy, privacy, and interoperability with other blockchain networks, as noted in the web results about its protocol design.

4. Impact of Scoring Spam Prevention: Higher levels (especially Level 2) protect users from being flagged as spam, creating a safer and more trustworthy environment. Future Visibility Boost: The post mentions that higher scores "will boost your visibility (coming soon)," suggesting Farcaster plans to prioritize or rank content from verified, high-scoring users in feeds or searches, though this feature isn’t fully implemented yet. Rewards Eligibility: Verified phone numbers and higher scores unlock access to geo-restricted rewards, incentivizing users to participate in the ecosystem.

3. How Points Are Earned Points are awarded based on the strength and activity of the accounts or assets users connect. The system evaluates the "established" nature and activity of these accounts: X Account: An older X account with a significant number of followers or activity earns more points than a new or inactive one. Phone Number: Verifying a phone number adds points and helps confirm a user’s identity, qualifying them for rewards. Crypto Wallet: An active wallet with a balance or transaction history scores higher than an empty or inactive one. This ties into Farcaster’s blockchain foundation, ensuring on-chain activity contributes to trust. The more established and active these linked accounts or wallets are, the more points a user can accumulate, pushing them toward higher verification levels.

2. Verification Levels and Points Farcaster assigns users a verification level based on points earned through specific actions. The levels are: Level 0: Unknown – No verification or minimal points, indicating an unverified or low-trust account. Level 1: Likely human – Requires 1,000 points, suggesting a moderate level of verification and trust. Level 2: Definitely human – Requires 2,000 points, indicating a highly verified and trusted account, which is always safe from spam labels. Achieving these levels requires users to complete verifications, such as linking their X account, phone number, and cryptocurrency wallet.

1. Purpose of the Scoring System The primary goals are to ensure users are genuine (i.e., "human" rather than bots or spam accounts), avoid spam labels, and prepare for future features like increased visibility for higher-scoring accounts. It also qualifies users for geo-restricted rewards, incentivizing participation and trust within the decentralized social network.
