Kalshi Removes Affiliate Badges from Non-Employee X Accounts

Kalshi, a prediction platform, has removed affiliate badges from all non-employee X accounts as of February 24. According to BlockBeats, these badges were primarily used for external partners, promoters, or community members. On the X platform, affiliate badges serve to verify organizational functions, allowing organizations to add badges to related accounts to indicate official association, enhance credibility, and prevent impersonation. On February 22, X's Product Manager Nikita Bier announced that X will introduce a paid promotion disclosure feature, which includes advertisements from Kalshi, Polymarket, and others. Accounts failing to disclose paid promotions will face suspension.
