# BitBadges Claims

Claims are BitBadges' universal off-chain gating primitive: **Meet criteria → Receive rewards.**

Claims are composed of plugins executed in a configurable pipeline. Built-in plugins handle common patterns (codes, passwords, address whitelists, token ownership). Custom plugins let you add any logic via HTTP endpoints.
