Bluesky can soon get a new blue control verification system, according to changes to Public Warehouse GitHub of the application found on Friday by Reverse Engineer alice.mosphere.at.
Blue checks may have a similar look to the system that led the twitter, now X, but the Bluesky version seems to work quite differently.
The Bluesky Blue Check system can be based on many organizations for the distribution of blue checks, according to code changes. This suggests that Bluesky will actively verify the notable accounts, but also describe certain organizations as “credible verifiers” and give them the power to immediately issue blue checks.
Changes to the Bluesky Verification System can be announced just on Monday, according to one Blog Posting Association It was found on Friday’s attraction entitled “Verification”, dating to April 21, 2025.
While Bluesky allows users to verify themselves by connecting their accounts to official sites, CEO Jay Graber hints that the company will try other types of verification. Last year, Graber said that Bluesky can experiment with a system where it is not the only team that can verify users.
The attraction also shows an icon, a blue circle containing a white selection sign, which will appear on the profiles of verified users. In the meantime, reliable verifiers will have blue circles containing a white sign of choice on their profiles.
An image found in the forthcoming Bluesky announcement suggests that the New York Times and other reliable news publishers may soon be able to verify users in Blue Check System. By pressing a user’s blue control, other users can see which organizations have given verification, according to the changes.
Bluesky’s approach to verification is very different from how X takes advantage of verification services. While X is used to distribute blue control to popular, authentic accounts, Elon Musk has decided to review the system and verify only users who pay monthly subscription. Musk has since returned this decision, giving blue checks to some influence users who do not pay for it, while allowing other people to pay for it.
Some have argued that X has diluted the value of a blue control on its platform completely, even allowing some bot accounts to be verified.
Bluesky did not immediately respond to TechCrunch’s request for comments.
Bluesky seems to adopt a decentralized approach to verification and by spreading the power making of decisions to various organizations. This could mean that many users in Bluesky are verified, but it remains to see how this approach will work in practice.
