-Giveth is making use of project verification to review a project’s legitimacy and to reward donors to those projects via the [GIVbacks program](https://docs.giveth.io/giveconomy/givbacks). Project owners can apply directly from their project page after signing in by clicking **VERIFY PROJECT**.

+The Verification system is a unique vetting system the Giveth platform uses to ensure that projects listed on the platform are legitimate and trustworthy. The system is designed to help donors feel confident that their donations are going to projects that are making a positive impact in the world.
+
+## Verification Points
-This document serves as a guide to understanding the Project Verification process, what information is needed to apply, as well as what qualifies/disqualifies a project for participation in the GIVbacks program.
+Giveth uses a system of verification points to determine the level of verifcation a project has and thus, which benefits they are eligible for. Verification points are earned by receiving vouches from a group of ecosystem experts and trusted contributors known as Giveth Verifiers.
-## Benefits of Becoming a Verified Project
+**Currently there are two tiers of project verification each with its own set of benefits:**
+- **Level 1** - Projects with level 1 verification can be boosted by [GIVpower](./GIVpower.md) will show up higher on the project list based on the amount of GIVpower they have.
+- **Level 2** - Projects with level 2 verification will have all the benefits of level 1 and are eligible for the [GIVbacks program](/giveconomy/givbacks), making donors to their project eligible to receive GIV tokens.
+
+Verifiers issue vouches on-chain using DeVouch, which uses attestations on Optimism using the [Ethereum Attestation Service](https://attest.org/). To learn more about DeVouch check out the [docs](/devouch/) or visit the [website](https://devouch.xyz)
+
+### Additional Benefits of Becoming a Verified Project
- Create greater legitimacy for your Project.
- Build deeper trust and transparency with Donors.
- Make your project stand out! Get listed as a ‘Verified’ project on our platform and searchable by that category.
-- GIV stakers will be able to boost your project with [GIVpower](https://docs.giveth.io/giveconomy/givpower). Yes. You can even boost your own project!
- Wearing the 'Verified' badge can increase your project's chances of participation in [Giveth’s Quadratic Funding](https://docs.giveth.io/quadraticfunding) rounds.
-- Participate in the GIVbacks program, which rewards Givers for philanthropic donations. Once your project is verified, the supporters who donate to your project will be rewarded with GIV tokens. GIVbacks eligibility will greatly increase the likelihood of your project receiving donations. ***Note that verified project addresses will not receive GIVbacks rewards for donations made to their own project or any other verified projects. Please refer to the [Disqualifying Measures](#disqualifying-factors-for-the-givbacks-program) outlined below.***

-## Qualifying Measures for Project Verification
+## How to Get Points
+
+Giveth Verifiers will periodically review projects once they are listed on the Giveth platform. They will check the project's description and any social links added to the project page. Each verifier chooses to vouch for a project at their own discretion, based on the information provided. For this it is essential that you take the time to fill out your project page with as much information as possible, including links, social media accounts and any video or photo content.
+
+## Impact Audit
+
+Additionally, it is highly encouraged that project's looking to get verified complete an Impact Audit. This is a form that will provide Giveth Verifiers with additional information about the project's impact and how they are working to achieve their goals.

## Graduated Sanctions for flagged projects
The activity and donation history of Verified Projects will be periodically reviewed. Verified projects that are flagged for any of the disqualifying factors above will be analyzed and discerned according to the graduated sanctions outlined here:
-- A project that has been flagged and deemed to be disqualified for the **first time** will be notified and their donors will not receive GIVbacks for that round and the next. They will not, however, lose their verified status immediately and will have the opportunity to make any changes necessary to keep it.
-- A project that has been flagged and deemed to be disqualified for the **second time** will be notified that their project has been flagged and that the donors for that round and all future rounds will not be receiving GIVbacks. Once a project has received a second flag, it will lose its 'Verified' badge.
+- A project that has been flagged and deemed to be disqualified for the **first time** will be notified and their donors will not receive GIVbacks for that round and the next. They will not, however, have their verification level downgraded immediately and will have the opportunity to make any changes necessary to keep it.
+- A project that has been flagged and deemed to be disqualified for the **second time** will be notified that their project has been flagged and that the donors for that round and all future rounds will not be receiving GIVbacks. Once a project has received a second flag, it will be degraded down to level 1 of verification.
