# Badge Template

### Introduction

Digital Badges are part of the larger credentialing ecosystem. 

There are many ways to recognize an achievement, and many forms of proof for a variety of needs (such as proving who are treasurers and holding keys to various assets). 

A digital badge serves both as recognition of learning or unlocking achievement or confirming a status level AND digital proof of that accomplishment. We have a unique opportunity to create badges in the DHO and to store a proof on chain, allowing other providers to verify/use the badge in their own context. We also see badges as "signal amplifiers" that multiply your existing work in the DHO. 

For example, if you work in a 60% committed role earning $10,000, a potential badge could increase your DAO tokens and VOICE tokens by a factor of 1.01 for each salary claim (giving you 100 more DAO tokens and VOICE per claim). If you do not have a role (you do not have a responsibility and/or earn a salary), then the multiplier is 0 and the badge has no value. In other words, the badge only amplifies existing work and is only meaningful in effecting compensation inside this context. 

We can have badges that have a multiplier of 1 (having no impact on your salary) or less than 1 (having negative impact on parts of your salary - e.g. for those holding a "intern" or "apprentice" badges, etc or holding the "break/vacation" badge), the combinations in this space are endless.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://explore.joinseeds.earth/libraries-and-templates/badge-templates-and-library-open-library/introduction/badge-template.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
