Overview
What are Dynamic Stores?
A flexible storage system on BitBadges' side for maintaining lists of:
Email addresses
User Crypto addresses
User IDs / usernames names from platforms like Discord, etc
These can be thought of as a separate store for maintaining a list of users. You then "attach" stores to a claim and gate the claim by checking if a user is in the store. You control it. We store it. Update it:
Manually in-site in the developer portal
Automatically w/ API calls
Automatically w/ Zapier - Listen to 7000+ apps and add users to store in no-code
To get started, go to the Developer Portal. This will walk you through the process of creating, attaching, and adding data to the store.
Once your store is created, you can add users / data to it. Note that we add via a queue-based approach, so the data may take a couple moments to populate.
Attach to a Claim
The interface should walk you through the process of attaching it to a claim:
Directly in claim builder, you should see your stores in the templates section
In the stores tab, click Create Claim for a one-click create a claim which is auto-configured
Add the corresponding plugin (email for email stores) and add the store in the parameters select
Store ID and Store Secret
When creating your store, you will get a store ID and secret. These are to be provided by the API / Zapier when managing data. You can also manage the store without the secret if you are signed in with the owner address.
Core Advantages
1. Reusability
Not tied to specific plugins or claims
Can be shared across multiple verification processes
2. Dynamic Management
Real-time updates on the go (dynamic instead of static)
For example, as users check in to an event, you can dynamically add them to the store which would then make the plugin pass for those users dynamically
3. Outsourced Storage
As opposed to a traditional plugin where you maintain a validation endpoint and potentially store data, this is outsourced to us.
The roles are flipped. We handle the storage and validation, and you just send update hooks as they come in.
4. Not Address Dependent
All accounting for claims and other BitBadges services is done primarily with crypto addresses. For example, to complete a claim, you need to specify a claiming address. However, many apps and services do not have such a link from user ID on the app -> crypto address.
This approach allows you to not need to worry about addresses and only the app identifiers / emails. BitBadges handles the rest.
