## In short

The [Verified creator](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#verified-creator) badge is earned automatically when at least one linked network is verified by its [official connection](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#oauth) and every network linked to your account is verified (official connection or [bio code](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#bio-code)). It is shown on the creator directory, your profile and pool leaderboards, and some Quests are reserved for Verified creators.

## What is the Verified creator badge?

It is a trust signal for brands: every network this creator shows is proven to be theirs, and at least one is proven by the network itself.

You cannot buy or request the badge. SaTT computes it from the status of your linked networks every time they change.

## What are the exact conditions?

1. At least **one** linked network is verified by its official connection (for example YouTube via Google, or X).
2. **Every** network linked to your SaTT account, and to any wallet linked to it, is verified, by official connection or by bio code.

You lose the badge as soon as one linked network becomes self-declared, its official connection expires (“reconnect required”) or is revoked. Fix that network, or unlink it, and the badge comes back automatically.

> **Tip:** The last onboarding step, “You’re set”, shows the badge or the exact condition that is missing.

## Where does the badge appear?

- In the [creator directory](https://satt.com/creators), where Verified creators are listed first.
- On your public creator profile.
- Next to your handle on pool leaderboards and submission lists.
- In Quests whose owner chose “Verified creators only”.

## What does the badge not do?

The badge does not change your price in an AdPool: prices depend on your [audience tier](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#audience-tier) and your measured results. An AdPool setting “Verified creators only” is not available yet; today the restriction exists for Quests only.

## Key takeaways

- Automatic: one network verified by OAuth plus every linked network verified.
- Lost when any linked network is self-declared, expired or revoked.
- Verified creators are listed first in the creator directory.
- Quests can be reserved for Verified creators; AdPools cannot yet.

## Frequently asked questions

### I verified Instagram by bio code. Do I have the badge?

Only if another linked network is verified by its official connection. A badge needs at least one official connection; bio codes count for the other networks.

### Why did my badge disappear?

One linked network lost its verification, usually an expired authorization. Open Account settings, reconnect it or unlink it, and the badge returns.

### Does the badge raise my earnings?

Not directly. Prices come from the pool’s rules and your measured results, but brands browsing the directory see Verified creators first.
