# How to build on top?

### **Release EtherScore badges for your community:**

* Create badges to **encourage user growth, retention**, or for educational purposes. Users become eligible for EtherScore badges by performing onchain actions, providing a way to reward engagement and incentivize specific behaviors.

  To set up badges, partners provide the required information such as smart contracts, or subgraph/API details. The EtherScore team then handles the badge release, ensuring that eligible users claim them correctly.

### Use EtherScore API to identify trusted users

* **Profile display:** Show users’ onchain reputations on their profiles to provide more context and enhance social features.
* **Whitelist access for airdrops, ICOs, or NFT mints:** Curate eligible recipients to reduce bots and farmers. Restrict access to users identified as reputable or those who have previously interacted with a specific protocol.
* **Fidelity programs:** Offer discounts or perks for services to reliable users based on their onchain reputation.
* **Reputation-based services:** Develop new Dapp features or restrict existing actions based on users’ badge holdings (beta testing, "VIP" users, etc.)

### Build a reputation-based DAO / Integrate reputations in your DAO

* **Reputation-based DAOs:** define your DAO vote weights based on onchain reputations instead of token holdings
* **Whitelist DAO access** to users having reached a specific badge count in EtherScore
* **Boost DAO members votes** based on reputations to combine holders + active users

You can use the [Snapshot](https://snapshot.box/#/) interface to easily setup your DAO and voting strategies (please contact EtherScore at <contact@onchainedlab.com> to get support):&#x20;
