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.

I don't have a problem with this.

If it keeps FC free from most of the Kaito madness and spam which has infested CT then having $25 idle seems like a small price to pay

for better or worse, CT is still the crypto town hall (for now), in spite of there always being various forms of contagion running wild.  There are plenty of people who use both and plenty who don't enjoy the noise of Kaito etc.  You can't verify by reference to FC profiles for obvious reasons.

I don't mind having the idle, but given what you write about keeping FC free of what has infested CT, then why the obsession with X as a means of verification. It signals that if you are infested with that madness, you are welcome here. That is not a good sign.
