Why Badges on Nostr?
Traditional badge systems have problems:
| Traditional | Badge Box |
|---|---|
| Stored on one server | Distributed across relays |
| Company controls access | You control your keys |
| Hard to verify externally | Anyone can verify |
| Lost if service shuts down | Persists on the network |
Getting Ideas
Think about situations where you want to say:
- "This person completed something"
- "This person attended an event"
- "This person is part of our group"
- "This person helped in a meaningful way"
All of these work great as badges.
