Verification on CannaForge is not a checkbox. It's a hand-review process every breeder goes through before their first listing ships.

The review covers: breeder identity, lineage history, current working lines, prior releases, photography evidence, and operational readiness. No paid 'verified' tier — verification is gated to evidence and review.

Verified breeders receive: a verified badge, the option of managed fulfillment (you ship inventory to CannaForge once, we pick/pack/ship to collectors), full lineage record stewardship, and ongoing review of their drops.

Verification is not permanent. Breeders who misrepresent lineage, ship misadvertised gear, or violate platform conduct lose their badge and can be removed from the platform. The badge means something because it can be taken away.

Is verification automatic?+
No. Every application is reviewed by hand. There's no automated approval flow.
What happens if a breeder lies about lineage?+
Verification is revoked, the listings are pulled, and the breeder is removed from the platform.
