BSky Verified, an independent verification platform for Bluesky social app users, offering bskyverified.social handles to verified notable users.

Bluesky, which has seen a large-scale traffic surge since the U.S. presidential election, is a decentralized social app which places more control in the hands of users, allowing them to develop their own customized algorithm and providing robust blocking options.

However, at a time when many follower counts are still low on this growing platform, it can be particularly difficult to determine whether one is actually interacting with the person they claim to be.

Enter BSky Verified, the independent verification platform for Bluesky users that helps users stay ahead of catfish scammers.

BSky Verified performs due diligence to actually verify users’ identity, and then employs Bluesky’s built-in verification system to assign unique handles that cannot be copied. Only verified users can receive any bskyverified.social handle.

Founder Matt Slayer, a former private investigator and current host of the And Now We Drink podcast, explained, “While X and Instagram currently permit any user to purchase verification, BSky Verified provides both prestige and peace of mind. Our third party verification system generates user handles that cannot ever be duplicated by catfishes.”

When a user receives a bskyverified.social handle, it is verified through our website. If we determine that you meet eligibility criteria, you need not send us any sensitive documents. We schedule a Zoom call to ensure that you are indeed the person that you claim to be, and we onboard you into the system during the call. It’s that straightforward.
