Some additional notes: 

* social accounts must be at least 18 months old 

* verified accounts are much less likely to get the spam label (but can still get them if they behave in a way that is spammy or inauthentic) 

* verifications do not guarantee that someone is human, but they make it very difficult to spin up a lot of fake accounts quickly. this is very important as storage prices are set to reduce significantly

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

I wonder how many people this will disqualify. I don’t use X and my GitHub is only for Farcaster and it’s less than 18 months old because I haven’t been on Farcaster for 18 months. 

So the way I read this, I will be ineligible starting next week. 

Even if you don’t care about rewards and airdrops, knowing your engagement will suffer and your replies will be shown lower is kind of a knife in the gut.

I'd rather pay storage fees than verify. Funny how this update will mostly hurt people who are loyal to Farcaster.
