Authentication is a powerful use case for badges. For example, you can grant access to users who own a specific membership badge while denying access to those who don't. This authentication can be implemented in various settings, including in-person and digital environments.
For developers interested in implementing these features, please refer to our detailed guide:
In digital environments, you can authenticate users and verify badge ownership to enable features like badge-gated website access.
Sign In with BitBadges provides a way for any website to authenticate users while outsourcing all logic to a BitBadges popup. This approach is similar to "Sign In with Google" or other major tech companies.
BitBadges can tap into a wide range of integrations to perform various authentication checks. This flexibility allows for complex and diverse authentication scenarios. Some of the supported integrations include:
Badge Ownership Checks: Verify if a user owns specific badges or collections.
Discord Server Checks: Confirm a user's membership or role in a particular Discord server.
Token Holdings: Check if a user holds a certain amount of specific tokens across various blockchains.
NFT Ownership: Verify ownership of specific NFTs or collections.
On-chain Activity: Authenticate based on specific on-chain actions or transactions.
Social Media Verification: Confirm a user's identity or following on platforms like Twitter.
These integrations allow for highly customizable authentication flows.
QR codes offer a flexible solution for verification when you need to pre-generate signatures for later use. This is particularly useful in scenarios where users might not have immediate access to their digital wallets.
Use cases for QR code authentication include:
Presenting a digital ticket at a real-world event gate
Verifying membership at physical locations
Providing quick access to badge-gated content in various settings
QR codes in the BitBadges system can be configured in two main ways:
Users have the flexibility to export and save these QR codes using multiple methods, accommodating various preferences and use cases.
Depending on the provider's requirements, QR codes can be set up with different behaviors:
Expiration dates
Usage limits
Specific authentication requirements (e.g., must be scanned at a particular location)
Linked to specific badges or collections
By leveraging these authentication tools and integrations, BitBadges provides a robust and flexible system for verifying user identities, permissions, and badge ownership across a wide range of digital and physical scenarios.
