Badges are items that are awarded to players for completing a task, attending an event, winning a competition, or by burning a season pass. For example, in 2023, I was awarded Upland’s Broadcaster of the Year for my dedication and work to developing the Upland Guide and creating social media content, and my YouTube videos.
These badges are visible within a player’s profile and on the map next to your block explorer. Badges are not assets that you own, and they are non-transferrable to other players.
There are certain badges that can evolve by completing other tasks, or leveling up. For example, below you can see the evolution of the Genesis Week attendee badge which is awarded to players who attended Upland’s Genesis Week – an in person event that was held in Las Vegas.
Badges are an integral part to your collectors score which factors in not only badges, but block explorers, city passes, and season passes that you own. The fewer the number of people that hold that same badge, the rarer it is, and thus the more points it will contribute to your collectors score. Learn more about this metric here.
