✅ Data & Verification

Verification is the point of Compass. A contact is only useful if it is real, current, and tied to the right person. This page explains what that means.

What the database covers

Compass tracks the people building Web3 and the teams they work on: 5,200+ contacts across 2,600+ companies, and growing. That includes the crypto-native and pseudonymous teams that traditional databases miss.

What "verified" means here

Every contact is tied to a real project. A person is not a floating name. They sit on a team, with a role and a history.
The channels are the ones we hold. When you unlock a contact, you see the channels Compass tracks for that person, such as telegram, email, X, and LinkedIn. Not every person has every channel.
Telegram comes first. It is the channel Compass prioritizes, because it is where most crypto teams actually talk and where you are most likely to get a reply.

What sits behind a profile

A profile is more than a handle. Where available, it includes:

The person's role and the team they are on.
A career timeline of where they have worked over time.
Social handles and follower reach, so you can gauge their voice.
The connections that tie them to other people, projects, funds, and influencers.

This is what lets you confirm you have the right person before you spend a credit to reach them.

Coverage and gaps

Crypto moves fast, and no database is complete. Some people will have more channels than others, and coverage is always expanding. Browsing is free, so you can always check what Compass holds for a person before deciding to unlock.
