Badges

The proof of activity

A Passport is only meaningful when it carries proof. In T-Rex, that proof comes in the form of Badges. Badges are verifiable credentials that describe what a person has done, achieved, or contributed.

Badges give shape to a Persona. They can signal long-term liquidity provision, regular governance participation, event attendance, developer contributions, or even learning achievements. A single Badge might confirm that a user has provided stable sliquidity for six months, while another show that they completed a verified developer task. In aggregate, Badges make the difference between an empty wallet and a living profile.

Badges are dynamic. They are not labels frozen forever, but evolving credentials. A Badge can expire if conditions are no longer met, update when new milestones are reached, or decay in weight over time so that the profile reflects current reality. This ensures that Persona stay fresh, portable, and useful across contexts.

Badges are also portable primitives. Once minted into a Passport, a Badge can be used across the entire ecosystem. A DeFi protocol may use them for eligibility gates, a gaming platform for matchmaking, or a DAO for governance weighting. Because Badges are smart-contract based and open, any application can query them directly through RPCs or SDKs.

The importance of Badges lies in their versatility. They are flexible enough to capture everything from assets to skills, but verifiable enough to carry weight in critical decisions like access, targeting, or rewards. Each Badge is a piece of proof that enriches the Value Graph, turning isolated actions into meaningful reputation.
