First 100: BadgeFed Explorer
The verified Recognition was issued to @reiver
You ventured into uncharted territory and helped shape the BadgeFed project from the start. As one of the first 100 testers, your curiosity, feedback, and bug-finding instincts helped stabilize the platform. The fediverse will always remember your role in getting us off the ground—one crash, typo, and glorious bug report at a time.
Earning Criteria: Awarded to the first 100 individuals who actively participated in the early testing phase of BadgeFed. This includes exploring the platform, submitting feedback or bug reports, and generally poking around where things probably weren’t ready yet. These badges are limited—no retroactive claims, no reruns, no exceptions. You were here. You mattered..

Another cool ActivityPub project I came across today - BadgeFed.
From the point of view of your regular Fediverse instance - I could foresee this being used to recognise members for financial contributions, being moderators, Creating x number of Peertube videos, y posts on Mastodon, winning community contests, stuff like that. Really cool and I will definitely look into this further a bit further down the line.

Digital badges have come to the Fediverse! Courtesy of @badgefed .
Each badge comes with a verification link. Here's the link for my "code contributor" badge: https://badges.vocalcat.com/grant/badgesvocalcatcom_4_8_b26c1fc562a7596ef4c3517ec01fbcd6
I did some changes to my almost static #activitypub enabled blog, which enables @blog and @badgefed so now it can show the real number of followers.
I have only updated the #badgefed one. I am planning to migrate @vocalcat to such format because having a bot account does not make sense for the #fediverse. I rather post real uodates.
I will edit my series in the following days.

BadgeFed Authentication, finally.
I had a hard time to get it work until I realize I was trying with a different #blazor than what I was expecting. I am still learning.
Anyway, I expect great progress in the following days.
Help wanted. My css and design skills are vrry shitty, if someone wants to contribute to #badgefed (a decentralized digital credential system, like Credly but over the #fediverse) let me know.
I am going to send a few badges, just to test how users react. #badgefed
I gave a little bit of thinking on the changes I want to do to #badgefed before making my server public.
The one who emits the badges, is a #fediverse actor, this should be no controversial, after all, I use the public/private keys to sign the badges itself.
But in the first prototype the recipient of the grant, was a record in the system itself. The idea was to allow recipients outside the fediverse to receive badges as well. I did not wanted to store the email, so I required a profile url, think of your fediverse url, or for those outside #linkedin, #blog, even #facebook if they want. However, it gets things a little bit more complex and less clean than what I want.
Today, I decided that the recipient MUST be an actor of the #Fediverse. That is, it, that will be embedded as a mention, and should be clean and neat. For those who are not in the fediverse, #badgefed will provide an actor (and profile url) where they can add basic information such name, and bio links. Or they can create an account in any of the fediverse platforms at the moment of receiving the badge.
