If you have been in Web3 for more than five minutes, you already know this strange reality. We treat basic verification like some personal detective mission. Every time someone reaches out, the first instinct is not to talk business. It is to check if they are even real.
You know the drill:
"Check if the profile is real"
"Verify they actually work there"
"Make sure it is not a scam"
"Ask them to prove their identity in private messages"
If you step back for here a second, it is actually wild. In any normal industry, this level of chaos would never survive.
Banking does automatic verification. Healthcare requires strict credentials. Education has a full chain of trust.
