Lack of trust is one of the biggest issues in crypto today. Identity is fragmented and confusing, and folks are often skeptical of others. Even with a vouch from Dan, Vitalik was still asked to prove his identity when he first joined Farcaster. https://i.imgur.com/ea6FKoq.png

But it isn’t just Vitalik who folks are impersonating, here’s what happened to Franklin just yesterday, complete with a phishing link... https://i.imgur.com/YUxvJhw.png

With NF.TD, you can now prove that you do, in fact, own the socials you’re linking to. Verifications for Farcaster, Twitter, Paragraph, Gallery, Sound, ENS & personal websites are live (with plans to integrate more as we build). We’re verifying through a mix of connected wallets, public attestations, & DNS records

We re-worked the “add link” flow a bit. When adding a new link, NF.TD will automatically detect if your connected wallet matches a profile on an integrated app like Farcaster, Paragraph, Gallery, & Sound.

Otherwise, you can always link to anything you want via the “custom” button (no verification).  https://i.imgur.com/PABVZEx.png

Verifications are opt-in and will receive a verified checkmark if successful. https://i.imgur.com/mxFsOO1.png

Every NF.TD profile will also have an API endpoint that developers can use to power profiles & verified identity within other apps. https://i.imgur.com/kqbDY9O.png

The internet can be a confusing place. We often thought back to this interaction with @kenneth, and loved how people were using NF.TD to contextualize and learn about others. https://i.imgur.com/uwqlOlI.png

With verifications, we wanted to keep the existing functionality, but also wanted to introduce something very important - a layer of trust.

We’re opening up profile endpoints for developers so you can soon bring your verified identity into the other apps you use - helping folks easily contextualize who you are, wherever you are (and helping you easily vet the people you’re interacting with as well).

If you’re a developer interested in testing out a very beta version of NF.TD’s profile API for your app, please e-mail us at [email protected].  Until today, we’ve been allowlisting wallets 1-by-1 for username minting. Though we’re still in private beta, minting is now open to everyone on Farcaster.
