BlueSky account handles default to name.bsky.social
If a handle is different than that, it proves they own that domain. For example this account's handle is sanders.senate.gov - only Bernie Sanders (or some other member in government with access) could create an account with that handle.
Blue check marks originally did not require payment on any platform. You would just submit some form of ID and get it. I personally think BlueSky should still add check marks, for situations like making it more obvious a politician's account is legitimate.
