A new form of verification on Bluesky


We’re introducing a new layer of verification — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. Additionally, independent organizations can verify accounts directly through our Trusted Verifiers feature.

Social media has connected us in powerful ways, but it hasn’t always given us the tools to know who we’re interacting with or why we should trust them. In 2023, we launched our first layer of verification: letting individuals and organizations set their domain as their username. Bluesky will proactively verify authentic and notable accounts and display a blue check next to their names.
