Account Verifications (Beta) 

- Verify your X, phone and onchain addresses to improve reputation.  
- Accounts with better reputation are more likely to earn rewards. 
- Scoring is still in beta and will change as we roll this out. 

Go to Settings > Verifications on mobile.

Verifications are opt-in, but through proof-of-work offer a non-biometric proxy version of proof-of-humanity. 

The more verifications (with publicly visible activity / history / reputation), the more likely you are to be human.

Useful for developers building on the protocol, projects targeting airdrops and even for understanding that your engagement is not coming from "bots".

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

I'm going to grumble a bit: I closed my X account and my only social media presence is Farcaster. I anticipate that the offer of "up to 2400 points" is to incentivize X users, but it's kind of like how my company's health insurance used to offer premium discounts if you stopped smoking (and nothing for those who didn't smoke at all).
