Identity
SORA allows you to store profile information in order to identify and discover people across the network. It's convenient for users to use the identity and registrar features. A tutorial is provided below on how to set up an identity for yourself.
Via PolkadotJS UI
Register an Identity
Requirements:
- SORA account
- ~0.005 XOR to pay the fee
Follow these steps to set up an identity:
Go to the Polkadot JS Apps pointing at the Sora Mainnet account's tab:
Click on the hamburger menu icon on the account you wish to register an identity for. Then select "Set on-chain identity":
Register your Identity and click on "Set Identity" when finished.
INFO
Please note that you will have to pay a small XOR transaction fee for signing.
Once the transaction is completed your account will show an identity!
Request Identity Judgment
Once you have finished following all the steps outlined in the Register an identity section, you can request an additional verification to obtain a prominent green checkmark next to your account name. This verification serves as an indication that you are a recognized and verified user, allowing others to easily identify and trust your account.
- Request judgement from a registrar on polkadot.js.
Using the account you wish to verify, go under the Developer tab and follow these steps:
Click Extrinsics.
Select

Donate a minimum of 1 XOR
per account requesting judgement to the Community Marketing Funds address (cnSN9X2HNU3uYjRbGvTwpgUdtVDuNk1g29XkcQNoNBQxgt1ii
). The funds from this community wallet are used for SORA marketing.
- Contact the registrar directly. You can find their contact info in their profile.

- Verify your identity.
You will need to prove that the information on-chain is legitimate. Each registrar will have their own set of procedures to verify your identity and values, and only once you've satisfied their requirements will the process continue.
INFO
You can freely change any values during the judgement process until you are verified. However, changing the value of even a single field after you've been verified will un-verify your account and you will need to start the judgement process anew.
