Verification prototype

Official creator verification

This prototype explains how official verification should work once X and Telegram both participate in identity. The goal is not a generic badge, but a layered trust state: account verification, self verification, and face-to-content match.

Layer 1

Account verification

Confirms control of the public X account used as the profile anchor.

Layer 2

Self verification

Confirms the operator behind the account is the real person, not only a manager or shell operator.

Layer 3

Face-to-content match

Confirms the verified person and the public-facing content remain visually aligned over time.

Prototype flow

1. Bind public X account

The creator binds the X profile that acts as the public identity anchor for identification, sharing, and official discovery.

2. Confirm Telegram member continuity

The creator links the Telegram side used for member access and private continuity, so the system can see both public and member identity layers.

3. Submit guided proof

The prototype assumes a guided selfie or short video, plus an account-side instruction such as a temporary X bio marker or Telegram post token.

4. Review and publish verification state

Once moderators approve, the profile can show account verification, self verification, and face-to-content match states.

What changes after approval

The profile shows layered verification states instead of one generic badge.
Identity confidence inside the score model rises, especially when X and TG are both bound.
Official X operations can safely distribute the verified profile and discovery cards.
Moderation can route verification outcomes back into score, archive, and timeline layers.

Verification return mapping

Status cards gain visible account / self / face-match states.
Score logic raises or limits identity confidence according to the verification result.
Archive and timeline can record the verification review and the next re-check window.
Official X can only distribute the profile after this return path is visible on-site.
