# Achievements & Badges

![BADGES app — achievement progress + token rewards](/files/QLC2lVDz2WpTdnagxNic)

The BADGES app shows your achievement progress. Each achievement has:

* Name + description
* Icon
* Progress bar (current / target)
* Unlock state
* the token reward amount
* Claim button (gated by participation — see below)

## Achievement Categories

| Type         | Examples                                          | Reward Tier          |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| **Capital**  | wager\_sol\_total, market\_purchase, skins\_owned | 25K – 150K the token |
| **Skill**    | pvp\_wins, rank\_reached, score\_reached          | 25K – 300K the token |
| **Social**   | friends\_count, emotes\_used                      | 25K the token        |
| **Cosmetic** | Equipped market badges                            | 25K the token        |

Top-tier achievements (rank #1 reached, 100+ PvP wins, 10+ SOL wagered) pay the most — they're hardest to grind.

## The Gate — Read Carefully

**Achievement rewards are gated to participants.** You can unlock the badge as cosmetic progress no matter what — but the token reward is only claimable if you have:

1. Made at least one market purchase, OR
2. Placed at least one PvP wager (real on-chain deposit), OR
3. (Post-token launch) Hold any amount of tokens in your wallet

If you're not a participant when you try to claim:

* The CLAIM button is replaced with **🔒 PARTICIPATE**
* The screen shows a banner explaining the policy
* The achievement stays unlocked (you keep the cosmetic flex), just can't claim the tokens

The moment you qualify (one market purchase, or one PvP deposit) — every previously-unlocked achievement becomes claimable.

See [Reward Eligibility](/leaderboard-and-rewards/eligibility.md) for the full policy + rationale.
