We’re building out a badge system to gamify the experience of doing meaningful actions on Yup and to help navigate users around different parts of the product.
Here are some names and actions for potential badges we came up with. We want to keep it to five categories with 3 tiers in each one. What do you guys think?
What rewardable actions did we miss?
What should be taken out?
Any better ideas for names?

wow!! cool Idea this is… what if there is another option to recognize the best curator of the week or month as the top 10 best curators of the month??
This is very cool, but it looks very easy to achieve if these numbers are, it should have a larger scope to make it a big job to achieve it as @harsh mentions.
I like this a lot. Maybe as it’s own seperate category. The people competing for the best curator spot could be displayed in a “Top curators of the week” section as well.
So the idea behind the first couple badges being easy to receive, is that we want to encourage new users to explore different features of the app and have a relatively easy reward for doing so. Then once they’re hooked, we make the last badge much harder to achieve add an additional incentive to staying active long-term.
Two things to keep in mind:
We can continue to add more badges in each category as we go
This is mostly a mechanism for newer users to have more of a reason to start rating and explore the app when they aren’t earning much rewards to start.
That being said, maybe we should make the second and (especially) third badge a little more difficult to receive.
What would you consider verified on Yup exactly? Maybe when someone has their Twitter and Ethereum address linked?
wow glad to know that boss you like my idea.
yup, you got it. It will be more exciting for yupsters competing among them to achieve a spot on top position. Thus it will make yup more competitive and fun.
Thanks a lot Yup team.
Really it is a very good idea to make a competitive field among yupsters. If Everybody could see their position then they could take step to improve them.
A badge for those who tag yup_io in other Twitter accounts… 5 mentions and you earn the badge (rattle, blab or communicator) and the badge gives you 15% more influence in votes… I know 5 mentions are few but if we see all those who are signed up and that half or a little more of the people make their 5 mentions, it will be many… It could be 5 a day or 30 in a week and so you get it for the entire week.
Let the extension know when you mention the yup account
This is a very cool idea and I like the name for the badges as well. I think to make it simpler we could have a badge for connecting your Twitter account and following the Yup account? It would quite difficult to track mentions I believe.
It would be interesting if you could earn a little bit of influence by earning a badge, it would be something that can’t be transferred instead of earning $YUP.
I have a few suggestions for the UI and system of badges. These screenshots are based on a very popular fantasy sports app. But the inspiration can come from anywhere, right?
