Why verification is a feature, not a label
Most dating apps slap a 'verified' checkmark on a few accounts and call it a day. Veloré made identity verification mandatory for every single member. Before you can be discovered, before you can send a message, before you can attend a private event, your identity is checked against your government-issued ID and a live selfie — and a trained human reviewer signs off.
Verification protects everyone. It keeps catfish, scammers, and fake accounts out. It also reassures every member that the person they're talking to is real, available, and acting in good faith. That single decision is what changes the temperature of the entire community.
