Why This Works
Traditional certificates are easy to fake. A PDF or image proves nothing. Badges on Nostr are different:
| Traditional Certificate | Badge Box Certificate |
|---|---|
| Easy to forge | Cryptographically signed |
| No way to verify | Anyone can check the issuer |
| Stored locally | Permanent on the network |
| Tied to your identity | Portable across platforms |
Example Badge
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Identifier | nostr-dev-101 |
| Name | Nostr Development 101 |
| Description | Completed the fundamentals of Nostr development course |
| Image | Course logo or certificate design |
The value of your educational badge depends on your reputation as an instructor. Build credibility and your certificates become more meaningful.
