# Adding a Pleroma proof
Let's add a decentralized Pleroma proof to your OpenPGP keys.
[[toc]]
## Update the Pleroma account
Log in to your Pleroma 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 Pleroma 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`
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 (Pleroma is part of the [Fediverse](#https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse)).
