TL;DR

We will use Tableland to allow issuers to add on-chain metadata for each badge (such as a score, an expiration date, a name, etc.)

1. Context

The tokens we currently use on the blockchain are transferrable. This implies that they can be sold and purchased. This fundamentally limits the token from representing anything that is intrinsic to the owner. MetaBadge is a system that can be used to issue non-transferrable tokens with configurable metadata.

The case for non-transferrable tokens (referred to here as badges) has been made frequently, including in a recent post by Vitalik (Soulbound). A few interesting use cases include:

Once they are issued, they can be used to facilitate a lot of activity on-chain. A few exciting examples include: 💰 under-collatoralized loans, 👨‍🚀 proof of humanhood for airdrops, 💼 access to work such as bounties, 🗳 access to grants, and 🎟 access to communities.
