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

Obviously there's no guarantee that any one verification is not gamed.

And it's possible to have verifications with proof-of-work that are disingenuous. 

But a portfolio of verifications with decent proof-of-work are hard to fake. And especially hard to fake at scale.

Definitely a step in the right direction in our space.
Maybe add Gitcoin passport and/or Mainnet age/TX?
