Add an opt-in verified token usage badge for user accounts.
Users should be able to authorize GitHub or another third-party service to verify official token/account usage metrics and display them as a badge on a GitHub profile, repository README, project page, or developer portfolio.
The goal is to let people publicly show real usage or activity without relying on screenshots or self-reported numbers. For example, a badge could say:
- Verified OpenAI/Codex user
- Active API user
- 100K+ tokens used
- 1M+ tokens used
- 10M+ tokens used
- Verified developer account
- Verified usage milestone
This should be fully opt-in. Users should choose what metric is shared and whether it appears as an exact number, a range, or a simple tier. Privacy-safe tiers should probably be the default.
A possible flow:
- User goes to account settings.
- User selects “Create verified usage badge.”
- User chooses which usage metric to share.
- User authorizes GitHub or another service.
- GitHub displays a verified badge using official account data.
- User can revoke or update the badge anytime.
This would let people show credible proof of usage, experience, or activity while keeping private data protected. The third party should not receive prompts, API keys, billing details, private projects, or full account history.
Additional information
This would be useful for developers, open-source maintainers, hackathon participants, AI tool builders, and people who want to show real platform usage on their GitHub profile or project README.
It would be more trustworthy than screenshots because the badge would be verified by the platform. It would also be more private because users could share broad usage tiers instead of exact token counts.
This should not be a leaderboard by default. It should be a user-authorized verification badge that proves a selected metric is real.
