🪙BADGE
BADGE is the native gas token for the BitBadges blockchain. Please read our policies (including our BADGE disclosure) on our site for full disclaimers and information.
BADGE has 3 primary purposes:
Gas / Transaction Fees
Proof of Stake/ Governance - Validators bonding BADGE for the security of the network via staking.
In-Site Currency - Although note that we will prioritize others like USDC and other more established ones for in-site use.
0.1% Taker Fees on all transactions go to community pool
Distribution
For current distributions, supply, and more, we refer you to our explorer: https://explorer.bitbadges.io.

BADGE is listed on Osmosis at https://app.osmosis.zone/assets/BADGE and compatible with other IBC-enabled services.
Excluding block rewards, the initial circulating supply of BADGE was 100M.
Alternative Chain Deployments
BitBadges plans to pursue deploying our standard on other chains. BADGE also does not apply here. BADGE is the gas / governance token for the BitBadges blockchain only. Although when exploring agreements for deploying on other chains, we will strongly consider BADGE holders in any licensing agreement.
Security Model
We do recognize that in the short term, BADGE is not worth enough to adequately secure a proof-of-stake network. That is why we adopt a short-term more centralized approach and will look to decentralize over time. Couple notes on our approach to this:
In the short term, BitBadges still controls a large amount of the supply (>50%+) and operates on a more centralized governance at the moment, simply due to the fact that we have almost enough voting power to make any proposal pass.
In other words, treat BitBadges as much more of a proof of authority chain at the moment.
