We’re thrilled to announce a new feature of the WILDLABS experience: badges! Badges are symbols of engagement that are earned by interacting with the community through posting, reacting, commenting, attending events, and more.

Our vibrant and engaged community is the heart of this platform, and badges are a fun new way to visualise your unique WILDLABS experience, quickly identify other engaged members, and perhaps engage in some friendly competition!

Earn badges and level them up through engagement

We’re launching 9 badges that are automatically earned when you interact with the community and contribute to the platform (including activity on The Inventory Beta!). Badges come in levels that associate with a certain amount of engagement. To start, we have bronze, silver, gold, and full colour. Read more about which badges can be levelled up here.

As you continue to interact on WILDLABS through posting, commenting, reacting, and more, you’ll level up your badges over time. Keep an eye out as we add new levels in the future!

Stand out in the community

In addition to badges that everyone automatically earns through engagement, there are also a range of badges that are awarded to communicate different roles in our community. WILDLABS Group Curators, Variety Hour speakers, members of our advisory groups, and WILDLABS team members (to name a few examples) will be given unique badges that represent their function in the community.

Customise what you feature

Badges will automatically show up on your profile page, but you can also feature up to five badges on your profile card—that’s what people see when you post, comment or view the members tab. Easily customise which badges are featured and in what order they appear.

Don’t fancy showing certain badges? No problem! You can also hide badges from your profile page and profile card.

Where can you find badges?

Your badge collection is located on the left side-bar of your WILDLABS profile page.

All of your account activity to date has been added towards your badge progress, so head on over to your profile now to check out what you’ve earned thus far!
