Verified group is a type of VRChat banner group, which displays the word "Verified", followed by a noun.

Origin

With the release of the Groups feature released in Open Beta on November 30th, 2022, and following Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, Inc. on the month prior, verified groups were created initially to parody Twitter's (now X's) "verified user" badge.

When Twitter was bought out, users who were originally verified with Twitter's famous blue check verification, as well as regular users showed discontent with the introduction of Twitter Blue (now X Premium), making the blue checkmark available to anyone for $8 per month, and followed by mass impersonation by the site's users and becoming a subject of ridicule among internet users.

Notable Examples

Some groups quickly hitting the initial Group member limit of 10,000 set by the developers during the feature's launch. The sudden interest in similar vanity groups with broad appeal was likely^{[Citation Needed]} part of the reason why the VRChat Team to ultimately decided to raise the membership cap to the current limit of 100,000.
