NFTs to represent Web3 users' achievements
Last updated
EtherScore badges are NFTs that represent on-chain achievements of Web3 users, reflecting their blockchain and Dapp usage. These badges contribute to users' on-chain reputation and can be utilized by Dapps to provide benefits or showcased in EtherScore Profiles.
Badges are defined by minting conditionsâspecific achievements required to mint the NFT, such as completing three swaps on Uniswap. Currently, over 120 badges related to various chains and Dapps are available, spanning DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs. Initially, these badges grant specific roles in Discord and voting power in the EtherScore DAO on a 1-badge-1-vote basis (more details on EtherScore DAO).
To get started and claim your first EtherScore Badge, follow our tutorial.
If you are a Dapp or a developer looking to release EtherScore badges for your community, follow our tutorial
To provide a clearer picture, here are examples of badges released in the beta version:
Users who have completed the actions specified on each badge can claim them. For more details on the badge designs, please refer to the next section.
The initial badges are Soulbound tokens, meaning they cannot be transferred, ensuring reputation and benefits are non-tradable and legitimate. Here's a breakdown of the badge design in the beta version:
Network: Specifies the network required for the task (e.g., Ethereum).
Badge Category: Describe the type of action/dapp related (e.g., DEX, Bridge). Adding these categories to the badge informations allow users to filter and explore badges easily in the explorer, but it also allows to develop different score for different communities (an NFT community could give more power/score to badges related to NFTs).
Badges can concern any type of dapp, this list is only for informative purpose and is not restricted, more categories will be added in the future.
Badge Condition: Defines the action needed to claim the badge
Badge Property: Lists customizable parameters (e.g., transferability).
Currently, all badges are non-transferable, with more diverse properties planned for future releases.
We have planned several key improvements for EtherScore badges, starting with the following:
Multi-Level Badges: Badges will soon evolve to include multiple levels based on specific criteria (e.g., a Uniswap Swapper badge could have levels for 1 swap, 10 swaps, and 50 swaps). Users who achieve Level 1 of a badge will have the opportunity to progress to higher levels as they meet additional requirements. This refinement aims to enhance on-chain reputations by providing more detailed data and accurate representations of user activity. For example, it ensures that a user who stakes $1 of ETH for one day does not receive the same badge as a user who stakes $1000 for two years. While each badge level will have its limitations, we believe this approach will significantly improve the accuracy of user profiles.
DAO Voting Power Review: After implementing multi-level badges, the DAO will review and adjust the voting power assigned to each badge based on its relevance and the number of levels it includes. Discussions within the DAO will focus on defining voting power allocations for each badge type, considering their levels and categories (e.g., a Level 1 badge from the DEX category might receive +2 voting power). Balancing these allocations across categories of users will be a key consideration in developing an equitable scheme.
Improved Badge Design: The badges will be enhanced to improve their visual appeal and to make them more intuitive and easier for users to understand.
