Badges

Understand the basics

Badges are recognitions of the participant actions and progress on the platform. As participants start discovering, participating, and interacting, they earn different badges. Here is the list of badges and some ways participants can earn them.

It’s a gamification mechanism to improve the engagement of the participants in a ludic way.

The badges a participant has are visible in their public profile.

When a participant earns a badge they receive a notification.
