# Badges

### **What are Badges?**

Badges on Releap allow projects to reward community members and increase engagement using On-Chain Credential modules.

On-Chain Credentials function as a digital record for your blockchain activities. In addition, credentials are proof of a person's abilities, accomplishments, character traits, or other components of their background.

Credentials can be used to identify key actions that you may want to reward. Projects and individual users can create a campaign that allows users to mint customized badges. These badges can be used in addition to marketing campaigns, as a Proof-of-Interaction and more. 

#### Use Cases

* A commemorative badge for the launch of a project
* Badges can be used as a Whitelist pass
* A badge for listeners who join a specific space
* A badge for users who donate to a good cause
* And more
