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

  1. Collection Metadata: Name, description, image, category, etc.

  2. Badge Metadata: Individual badge details

  3. Supply: Total supply for each badge

  4. Balances Types: On-chain or off-chain storage

  5. Transferability: Rules for badge transfers and distribution

  6. Manager: Optional admin with customizable permissions

  7. Standard: Defines how to interpret badge details

  8. 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.
