Benefits of using a temporary phone number for BitClout
BitClout, which has evolved and is now known as DeSo (Decentralized Social), is a blockchain-based social network that tokenizes social reputation with "creator coins." Signing up for platforms on the DeSo blockchain often requires phone verification to distribute starter funds and prevent bots. Given the financial and public nature of the platform, using a temporary phone number is an essential security measure.
Protect Your Financial and Social Anonymity
DeSo is a public, financialized social network where your reputation has a literal market value. Linking your real-world identity via your personal phone number can have significant privacy implications, exposing your social and financial experiments to everyone. A virtual number allows you to complete the SMS verification process anonymously, enabling you to explore this new social-financial world without tying your activities directly to your real-life identity.
Secure Your Crypto Assets
On a blockchain platform where real value is at stake, security is paramount. Your phone number can be a weak link, susceptible to SIM-swapping attacks that could give hackers access to your accounts. Using a disposable phone number for initial verification on a DeSo app means your primary, known number is not the key to your crypto wallet. This adds a critical layer of security to protect your creator coins and other digital assets.
Prevent Unwanted Scrutiny and Targeting
As your profile gains value on DeSo, you may attract unwanted attention. If your personal number is linked to your account, you could be targeted with sophisticated phishing attempts, spam, or harassment. A temporary number ensures that your on-chain activities are disconnected from your personal contact information, shielding you from individuals who might try to exploit your public crypto-social profile for their own gain.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can. SMSFAST allows you to rent multiple virtual numbers, meaning you can use a unique number for each BitClout account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into BitClout. Also, ensure the number you used is still active and within its valid time frame.
If the issue persists, the number might have been flagged by BitClout. In such cases, we recommend simply renting a new temporary phone number and repeating the registration process.
