# Badges

> Visual collectibles awarded for achievements and milestones

Badges are visual collectibles — a small image and title — awarded when you satisfy the conditions of an achievement or complete a milestone event. Unlike reward assets, badges aren't spent or redeemed; they sit in your profile as a display.

## Earning badges

Badges are unlocked by:

* Completing an **achievement** that has a badge as its reward.
* Admin-granted events (for example, "Early Adopter" badges handed out manually).

When you unlock a badge you typically see a celebratory modal with the badge artwork and title.

## Viewing your badges

From the wallet or profile, open the **Badges** section. You'll see:

* A carousel of your earned badges.
* A grid or list of badges available to earn (progress shown where configured).
* A detail view for each badge with its description and when you earned it.

## Missed Out vs Sold Out

Some badges are time-bound. After the window closes, the badge card switches to a **Missed Out** state — no longer earnable. This is the same underlying state used for expired rewards, just styled for badges.

## Translations

Badge titles and descriptions support translations — your view depends on the language set for the community and your user preference.
