When searching by a Farcaster @handle, #FID, or Warpcast /channel, you'll notice we categorize wallets into "Verified Wallets."

This distinction is deliberate and rooted in the concept of a verified wallet within Farcaster, a decentralized social protocol, serving as an official ID for your digital currency wallet.

Similar to how a school ID verifies your identity within an educational institution, a verified wallet authenticates your digital wallet's ownership and authenticity on the blockchain.

This verification process, which records the connection of a user's wallet to their Farcaster account at the protocol level, is recognized by Farcaster's foundational rules and structure, not merely by an application or service built on it.

This protocol-level verification ensures that each account is associated with a genuine wallet, thereby bolstering network security and trust.

Bello leverages the protocol-level feature of verified wallets to ascertain the authenticity of different accounts, ensuring their legitimacy.
