Let's add a decentralized Mastodon proof to your OpenPGP keys.

## Update the Mastodon account
Log in to your Mastodon instance and click on **Edit profile**.
Add a new item under **Profile metadata** with the label **OpenPGP** and your PGP fingerprint as the content, or with the label **Keyoxide** and your Keyoxide profile URL as the content.
## Update the PGP key
First, edit the key (make sure to replace FINGERPRINT):
```
gpg --edit-key FINGERPRINT
```
Add a new notation:
```
notation
```
Enter the notation (make sure to update the link):
```
proof@metacode.biz=https://INSTANCE.ORG/@USERNAME
```
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 Mastodon account.
