I would think that's a newcomer that we should welcome. Was that your thinking? That might be the one icon that might be intuitive for Nostr users as long as the tradition of welcoming newcomers continues.

That will show up on the profiles that the user is following. The idea is to say that it is your friend and not an impersonator.
Nice! I like that idea. Would this be the only icon that can show in that location of the layout or are you thinking of having a variety of icons that could show in that spot? It would be handy to have an easily accessible lexicon for reference in the app menu since there is potential to have a lot of icons and meanings for them throughout the UX. Might also be good to spec this out so clients have the option to unify around this and maintain good UX. Otherwise, this will get overwhelming for newbies and normies.
Also, I just thought of a Nostr-unique checkmark if you wanted to go that route, but I could see there being utility to an entire set of Nostr-context icons that could be helpful to users. Just have to be careful to guide users in learning and adoption for UX.
