Rewards: Streaks, Quests & Badges · Lesson 4 of 5

4. Earning & Collecting Badges

Understand how badges mark milestones in your journey and how they can be earned automatically or awarded to you.

Badges are milestones that mark key achievements in your journey on the platform. Think of them as collectible stamps — each one represents something meaningful you've accomplished, like completing your first quest, reaching a certain level, or mastering a particular tool. Badges are displayed on your progress page so you can always look back and see how far you've come.

There are two ways to earn a badge:

  1. Automatically — Some badges are awarded the moment you hit a specific milestone. For example, you might receive a badge as soon as your activity earns you enough points to reach a new level. You don't need to claim anything; the platform recognizes your achievement and grants the badge for you.

  2. Awarded by an admin — Other badges are given to you by a platform administrator. These may recognize contributions that go beyond everyday activity, such as helping teammates, participating in a special event, or completing an advanced challenge.

Either way, every badge you earn appears on your progress page automatically.

Your progress page is the single place where all your rewards live — points, level, quests, and badges. When you visit it, you'll see your badge collection alongside everything else that tracks your growth. This makes it easy to check which badges you've already earned and stay motivated to unlock new ones.

Tip

Check your progress page regularly! New badges can appear without any notification if they're awarded automatically. A quick visit lets you spot achievements you might have missed and discover what milestones are coming next.

Badges are visual milestones that celebrate your achievements on the platform. They can be earned automatically when you reach certain goals, or awarded to you by an administrator. All your badges are displayed on your progress page alongside your points, level, and quests — giving you a complete picture of your journey.
