# Adding a Pixelfed proof
Let's add a decentralized Pixelfed proof to your OpenPGP keys.
[[toc]]
## Update the Pixelfed account
Log in to your Pixelfed instance and add the following lines to your **Bio** (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
This is an OpenPGP proof that connects my OpenPGP key to this Pixelfed account. For details check out https://keyoxide.org/guides/openpgp-proofs
[Verifying my OpenPGP key: openpgp4fpr:FINGERPRINT]
```
## Update the PGP key
First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT
```
Get a list of user IDs and find the index of the one to assign the notation to:
```

```
Select the desired user ID (make sure to replace N):
```
uid N
```
Add a new notation:
```
notation
```
Enter the notation (make sure to update the link):
```
proof@metacode.biz=https://INSTANCE.ORG/users/USERNAME
```
Please note that the **/users/** part of the URL is mandatory for the proof to work.
Save the key:
```
save
```
Upload the key to WKD or use the following command to upload the key to [keys.openpgp.org](https://keys.openpgp.org) (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --send-keys FINGERPRINT
```
And you're done! Reload your profile page, it should now show a verified Fediverse account (Pixelfed is part of the [Fediverse](#https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse)).
