Unlike X, You Can Now Get Bluesky Verified With No Fees
1 min read
Summary
Bluesky is competing with Twitter (X) by introducing verified accounts for notable brands and individuals
As of April 2025, accounts that link their domain to their profile receive a blue verification badge, similar to those used by X, to signify their authenticity
Verification can also be granted by a ‘Trusted Verifier’, such as a brand or organisation, which will then be able to verify individuals or organisations within their own network and grant them a verification badge
Verification on Bluesky is seen as more meaningful than on X because the process is more thorough and cannot be paid for, while suspicious accounts can be reported and have their verification removed or their account banned altogether
Future plans for Bluesky include a self-service verification process for individuals, once the current manual process has been completed for notable brands and organisations.
