📚Overview

This directory contains comprehensive developer documentation for the BitBadges blockchain's x/badges module.

💡 Note: For most development, you may actually not need to know many of the underlying details of x/badges that we describe in this section. For example, you may only need high-level API getters like fetching balances and metadata as well as the no-code Create tab in the BitBadges site.
