Platform Upgrades Trust with Blue Checks Verification by Bluesky
Bluesky Introduces Verification System for Authentic Accounts
In a significant move towards enhancing user safety and establishing trust, social media platform Bluesky has introduced a verification system for notable accounts. This system, announced on April 21, 2025, aims to authenticate the identities of influential users, similar to how other platforms verify public figures.
The system operates on a tiered basis, reflecting Bluesky's commitment to user safety and compliance with global regulations. However, the specific role of Trusted Verifiers, independent organizations that can verify users, and the process for these organizations to become verifiers, remain undisclosed.
To become a Trusted Verifier, independent organizations would likely need to meet criteria set by Bluesky, such as demonstrating expertise in verification processes, ensuring data privacy, and adhering to Bluesky's community guidelines. The exact steps or requirements for this process are yet to be detailed.
Users can still self-verify by linking a domain to their handle, a feature already available on Bluesky's platform. Additionally, more organizations are expected to join as Trusted Verifiers in the coming months.
Bluesky's approach to verification emphasizes decentralized trust, and the platform is enabling community-driven verification through partnerships. The blog post from Bluesky also mentions that a larger visual signal will be used for verified accounts, and users can toggle the visibility of their verification status in their settings.
While the specifics of the verification process are not fully disclosed, Bluesky's verification system is part of its broader effort to enhance user safety and comply with regulatory requirements. For more detailed information, direct inquiries to Bluesky or access to their official documentation may be necessary.
