Verified handles free

Prove it is really you.

Connect a handle you already own, or your own domain, and get a checkmark on your wall. It takes a minute, and it is what makes a stranger comfortable putting money behind you.

Free on every plan — and required before you can take payouts.

Verified handles as they appear on your wall.

Why it matters
Nobody backs a page that might be an impostor.

A sponsorship wall asks for real money from people who may only know your work, not you. The checkmark closes that gap. It says the handle they follow and the wall they are paying are the same person. We ask everyone to do it before they can take payouts, on purpose: it keeps SponsoredBy a network of real, accountable people, and that is exactly why backers are willing to put their names on your wall.

How you use it

Setting it up

01

Add your handles

On Edit profile, type in the accounts you want to show and save.

02

Hit verify

Most platforms verify by signing in. It takes seconds and we never post anything.

03

Or use your domain

Add one DNS record, or paste one meta tag into your homepage. Either one proves it.

04

Connect payouts

One verified account unlocks Stripe, so the money can actually reach you.

Specifics

What you can verify

Verified handles show on your wall as a small green check next to each account. We only store the handle and when you verified it. We never post for you and never read your private data.

  • Sign in to verify — GitHub, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook
  • Paste a code in your bio — X, and LinkedIn company pages
  • DNS record or meta tag — your own domain
  • Instagram and TikTok — in review with those platforms, coming soon
  • You need one verified account before you can connect Stripe and take payouts.
  • Backers who give larger amounts pass their own identity check, so the names on your wall are real people too.

Show the world who’s got your back.

Free to join. Your wall is live in minutes, and every backer after that is public credit.
