Bluesky may add a blue check validation soon

Bluesky may soon get a new Blue Checkmark verification system, according to changes to the app's Public Github repository discovered by reverse engineer Alice.Mosphere.at on Friday.

Blue Checks may have a similar appearance to the system Twitter has now been pioneered with X, but the Bluesky version seems to work very differently.

According to Codebase changes, Bluesky's Blue Check System may rely on multiple organizations to distribute blue checks. It suggests that Bluesky not only actively validates prominent accounts, but also gives the authority to label certain organizations as “trusted validators” and issue blue checks directly.

According to a blog post link found in a Friday pull request entitled “Confirm” on April 21, 2025, changes to Bluesky's verification system may be announced on Monday.

Bluesky can already tie your account to the official website to get you to verify yourself, but CEO Jay Graber suggests that the company will try to do other types of verification. Last year, Graber said there is a possibility that Bluesky could experiment with systems that aren't just groups that can verify users.

The pull request also displays a blue circle and an icon with a white checkmark that appears in the profile of the verified user. On the other hand, the trusted verification agent has a blue circle engraved on its profile with a white checkmark.

A blog discovered on Bluesky's Github Repo occasionally posted reverse engineering credits: Alice.Mosphere.AT

Images discovered in Bluesky's upcoming announcement suggest that The New York Times and other trusted news publishers may soon have the ability to validate users with the Blue Check System. By tapping the user's blue check, other users can see which organizations allow validation according to changes.

How the verification system makes credits work: Alice.Mosphere.at

Bluesky's approach to verification is very different from the way X operates the verification service. X was used to distribute blue checks to general, authentic accounts, but Elon Musk decides to overhaul the system and only validates users who pay a monthly subscription. Musk then returned the decision and gave the blue checks to influential users who don't pay it, while allowing others to pay.

Some people claim that X is completely diluting the value of the blue check on the platform, allowing some bot accounts to be verified.

Bluesky did not immediately respond to TechCrunch's request for comment.

Bluesky appears to take a decentralized approach to validation by spreading its decision-making power to several organizations. That could mean that many users of Bluesky are being validated, but we still don't know how this approach actually works.
