# Coin Verification
To maintain platform integrity and protect against fraud, FANstrike offers verification for sports tokens. Verified tokens receive a verification badge and enhanced visibility on the platform.
### Verification Process
**Social Media Verification:**
* Connect your official Twitter/X and Instagram accounts
* Post a personalized verification message as directed by our system
* Verification typically completed within 24-48 hours
* No cost for social media verification
**Identity Verification (KYC) - Coming Soon:**
* Full identity verification through our partner
* Required for high-volume tokens or institutional entities
* Involves submitting government-issued ID and additional documentation
* Coming soon - currently in development
### Benefits of Verification
**For Verified Tokens:**
* Official verification badge displayed on token page
* Higher visibility in platform discovery and search
* Priority placement in trending and featured sections
* Access to advanced creator analytics and tools
* Enhanced community trust and credibility
**For Token Holders:**
* Confidence in supporting legitimate sports entities
* Protection against impersonation and fraud
* Access to exclusive verified-creator content and perks
* Priority customer support for verified token communities
### Verification Requirements
To qualify for verification, sports entities must:
* Demonstrate legitimate connection to sports (professional history, facility ownership, etc.)
* Provide verifiable social media accounts with established history
* Maintain active engagement with their token community
* Comply with platform terms of service and legal guidelines
Verification is not required to launch tokens on FANstrike, but it provides significant benefits for serious sports entities building long-term communities.
