Earning Recognition

As a funder, you already create an on-chain funding history when you deposit or participate in certificate-backed flows. What is still evolving is the product layer that turns that history into clearer recognition, badges, or portable reputation views.

How Recognition Works

On-Chain Funding History

Every vault deposit and Hypercert purchase creates a permanent, verifiable on-chain record. Your funding history is:

  • Transparent — Anyone can verify your contributions
  • Portable — Your reputation travels across gardens and platforms
  • Cumulative — Consistent funding builds a stronger track record

What Exists Today

  • Permanent funding records — Deposits and related transactions are visible on-chain
  • Garden-level attribution — Your support can be tied back to a specific garden and its treasury activity
  • Certificate-linked history — Where Hypercert flows are in use, support can be linked to a more specific impact bundle

What Is Still Taking Shape

  • Dedicated funder badges
  • Cross-garden reputation views
  • Cleaner public profiles for capital allocators
  • Opinionated leaderboards or milestone systems

Future Recognition Features

  • Unlock Protocol badges — Token-gated credentials for funding milestones
  • Cross-garden recognition — Reputation that spans multiple communities
  • Funder leaderboards — Transparent rankings of impact backers
