What Are Verified Collections?
A verified collection on JPG Store is an NFT collection that has been reviewed and confirmed as authentic by the JPG Store team. This verification ensures that the collection was created by its rightful owner and helps users confidently buy and trade NFTs.
A verification badge (✔️) appears next to the collection name on its page and across the marketplace, indicating that the collection has completed the verification process.
Why Does Verification Matter?
1. Prevents Scams and Fraud
Verification helps protect buyers from purchasing fake or copycat collections that attempt to mimic popular projects.
2. Builds Trust in the Marketplace
Verified collections give buyers confidence that they are interacting with the official and legitimate version of a project.
3. Helps Buyers Discover Authentic Projects
The verification badge allows users to quickly distinguish between official collections and unverified ones.
How Does a Collection Get Verified?
Verification is available for NFT creators who can prove ownership of their project. To verify a collection, creators must:
Own the collection’s official social media accounts.
Submit proof of ownership via JPG Store’s verification process.
Follow JPG Store’s verification guidelines.
Once verified, a collection receives a verification badge that signals to buyers that the collection has been authenticated.
Are Unverified Collections Risky?
Not necessarily! Many new or independent projects may still be in the process of getting verified. However, users should always do their own research before purchasing from an unverified collection.
If a collection is unverified and seems suspicious, consider checking:
The official social media accounts of the project.
The policy ID of the collection.
JPG Store’s collection reporting guidelines if you suspect a collection is fraudulent.
