# Achievements

> Conditions that unlock badges, rewards, or both

An achievement is a set of conditions attached to a reward. When you satisfy the conditions, the reward is awarded automatically. A badge might be the reward; so might a points bonus, a reward asset, or a giveaway entry.

## 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).

You can think of achievements as the rules and badges as one possible outcome.

## 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](/user-guide/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.
* Featured / in-progress achievements the community has highlighted.
* Historic results for past event-based achievements.
