Badges vs Lists
Badges vs Lists
Badges
Badges are blockchain tokens with customizable properties. They're more complex but offer greater flexibility than address lists.
Key Concepts
Collections: Core units of BitBadges, identified by numeric IDs
Badges: Individual tokens within collections, also with numeric IDs
Customization Options
Collection Metadata: Name, description, image, category, etc.
Badge Metadata: Individual badge details
Supply: Total supply for each badge
Balances Types: On-chain or off-chain storage
Transferability: Rules for badge transfers and distribution
Manager: Optional admin with customizable permissions
Standard: Defines how to interpret badge details
And more!
Address Lists
Address lists are simpler, being a simple list of users identified by their addresses. They offer less complexity (no balance ownership, no transferability, etc.), but this comes at the cost of flexibility / customization. The list creator can manage the list, its rules, and who is on it.
Distribution / Claims
Both have access to BitBadges claims, allowing you to customize who can claim the badge / spots on the list. BitBadges claims can access any supported integration, including wallets, social media, and more.
