How achievements differ from badges
- A badge is a visual collectible — an image and a title — that sits in your profile.
- An achievement is the underlying mechanism — the conditions that, when met, can unlock a badge (and/or other rewards).
Types of achievements
Communities configure achievements for different tracking behaviours:- Milestone — reach an absolute value (complete 10 challenges, earn 500 XP).
- Tiered — multiple tiers on the same metric (bronze / silver / gold for completing 10 / 50 / 100).
- Event-based — participate in a specific event during its window.
- Referral — hits when a referred user joins (see Referrals).
Achievement conditions
Each achievement exposes a human-readable condition description — “Complete 10 challenges in this community” rather than internal IDs. The condition shows on the achievement page and inside any wizard that embeds the achievement.Achievements as challenge actions
A challenge can embed an achievement as one of its actions. When you open the action in the wizard, you see the achievement’s panel — its conditions, your progress, and the reward. Completing the achievement’s conditions (inside or outside the wizard) satisfies the action.Tiered achievement UI
Tiered achievements show each tier alongside your progress through them. As you satisfy a tier, its reward is distributed and the next tier becomes the current target.Viewing your achievements
From the profile or wallet, open the Achievements section to see:- Your unlocked achievements.
