What is a Binance Square Verification Checkmark?
Verified badges are used to determine the account belongs to the person or brand they claim to represent. This verification badge helps you make knowledgeable choices about who to follow and the content to interact with. As always though, it's essential to Do Your Own Research and to report any suspicious content, ensuring you follow authentic, intentioned experts.
We bestow two sorts of verification badges, placed at the bottom right of the avatar. A black checkmark is for official Binance accounts, while a gold one is granted to influencers, media entities, organizations, and notable individuals.
