Federated Authentication & Accountability
Each Desirable Property has its own badge. Contributors earn the property badge for the DP they help refine; role overlays and contribution evidence can be added over time.
How badges work
One Badge for Every Desirable Property
Each Desirable Property has its own base badge. When you contribute to a specific DP, you earn that property's badge.
Over time, contributors build a portfolio representing the parts of the Meta-Layer they helped shape.
Role Overlays
Badges can include overlays that recognize how you contributed. Examples include:
- Member
- Workgroup Coordinator
- Co-Lead
- Reviewer
- Patch Contributor
- Steward
A single badge may contain multiple overlays reflecting different forms of participation.
Contribution Evidence
Badges aren't just symbols. When minted, they can include links to the actual work that earned them, such as:
- proposed patches
- workgroup documents
- meeting notes
- discussion threads
- pull requests
- implementation examples
- published articles
- supporting research
- other public contribution records
This creates verifiable recognition connected directly to community contributions.
Extensible Metadata
Badge metadata can evolve to include:
- Desirable Property number and title
- contributor roles and workgroup
- contribution summary and links
- version number and dates
- supporting resources and implementation evidence
- issuer information
This creates a lasting record of participation that grows alongside the Meta-Layer ecosystem. Badges recognize contribution – they do not confer ownership, authority, or governance rights.

Badge issuance uses the BRC333 badges model (preview / mint tooling on app.brc333.xyz). The challenge site focuses on the visual catalog and how recognition maps to Desirable Properties; minting and wallet flows live in the BRC333 project.
