Achievements and Profile Badges

Vibe Network is also home to a variety of different achievements which can be obtained through everyday activities, reaching certain milestones, achieving specific feats, and participating in special events. Obtaining these achievements unlocks profile badges that can be collected and displayed on user profiles.

These badges are cemented as SBT tokens to make them unique to each user and prevent wrongly transferring them elsewhere. They can be viewed as a point of pride, a collection awaiting to be enriched, and most importantly, serve to highlight the authenticity and dedication of their respective users.

The design language of these badges also communicates their importance and level, with low-level achievements appearing simple in design and progressively growing more complex as the associated achievements become more challenging to obtain. This ensures that contributions don’t go unnoticed, as it should be able to tell from first glance how much a user has accomplished for the platform, community, and the internet as a whole.

Incentivization

Badges also serve as an additional incentive layer to increase user engagement and the quality of content on the platform. With some introductory-level achievements being so beginner-friendly, new users are inevitably exposed to a variety of badges from an early stage, encouraging the development of these badges through frequent usage.

It is also paramount that achievements, in general, are acknowledged and elaborated to offer validation and appreciation to dedicated users of decentralized internet protocols such as Vibe. This level of care in the platform’s user base reassures users that the protocol is worth building for and contributing to, thus laying strong foundations for an active and long-term community.

Finally, as these incentives translate to quantifiable and tangible results with practical implications for engagement and content creation, the environment evolves into a self-perpetuating cycle of growth and development, routinely inviting new waves of people who will leave their own unique marks on the platform.

Perks

It is also possible to assign certain perks and privileges to the higher-end badges to further incentivize platform activity, as it is important to substantiate appreciation through action and not mere visuals. To that end, Vibe will continuously work to implement unique and interesting perks for top-level achievements, adequately rewarding dedication and progress.

These perks can relate to customization, visibility, revenue, and other aspects of the platform, offering a range of different functionalities ready to be unlocked and experienced by those who deserve them. Special care is taken to not lock essential and helpful features behind these achievements and ensure that the platform is enjoyable and immersive in its most basic forms.

Having tangible benefits to owning a badge also acts as an incentivizing force for some users who may not necessarily be moved by titles and markers. This feature ensures that the long-term prospects of using Vibe can be communicated to a vast range of audiences with a spectrum of motivations and interests.
