Would you be willing to confirm your phone number with Warpcast via SMS (wouldn't be publicly visible):

1. Gave you an algo boost

Yeah, it would be great if verification data lived on Hubs. Even better if there's a standard spec for different verifications that individual clients can choose to recognize or ignore.

@dhadrien.eth anything possible to do here without revealing the verification details on hub level?

Agreed, the check can be done privacy preserving and reusable using zk:
