Badges

Earn it. Show it.

Badges are small digital awards for what people do in the Block Zero community. Browse them here and learn how to create your own for a group.

Two kinds of badges

Merit badges

Soulbound

Awarded for something you did: building, helping, voting, being early. They stay with the wallet that earned them and can't be sent to anyone else. That is what makes them proof of merit.

Collector and event badges

Sendable · coming soon

Made for events, special editions and gifts. They can be sent to another wallet. Each badge type decides for itself whether it can be sent. They are on the test network first and not handed out yet.

Badges are recognition only. They have no price, give no claim to money and are never sold.

Create a badge for your group

You need to be the founder or an admin of a group, with a wallet connected. It takes about a minute.

  1. Open your group

    Go to your group page and find the box called Badges on the right. Under it, open Create a badge.

  2. Name it and say what it is for

    Pick a short name, for example Logo Designer, and one line about what people do to earn it. Names go through the same check as group names.

  3. Pick the picture

    Choose a symbol, a colour and a shape. The finished picture updates live. You do not upload anything: the picture is built from a professional symbol library, so every badge looks clean.

  4. Choose who can get it

    Set how many can exist (0 means unlimited) and whether members may apply. Fewer badges make a rarer badge.

  5. Create

    If you are the only manager, the badge is active at once. If your group has another admin, they approve it first. This is the four-eyes rule.

You can change the picture of an existing badge any time with Change picture under the badge. The name and the awards stay.

Award it

  1. Direct award

    In the Badges box open Award a badge, choose the badge and the member, add an optional note and press Award. The member needs a wallet.

  2. Applications

    If you allowed applications, members press Apply and write a short note. You see them under Manage group and press Award or Decline.

  3. Take it back

    If a badge was given by mistake, retire the badge or remove the member. Blocking a member withdraws their badges.

Four-eyes approval

A badge created by one manager has to be approved by a different manager before it can be given out. You can see the waiting badges under Manage group. You can not approve your own badge. If you are the only manager, there is nobody to ask and the badge is active right away.

Why: it stops one person from handing out badges to themselves or to friends unnoticed.

Use your badges

Who may do what in a group is listed on the tab Roles and rights of every group page.
