Badge Award

app.certified.badge.award

Awards a badge to a user, project, or activity claim. Each award references a badge definition and a subject — either an account DID (for user badges) or a strong reference to a specific record like an activity claim (for project or work badges).

Badge awards can include an optional note explaining why the badge was given. This creates a public record of recognition that can be verified by anyone.

Recipients can respond to badge awards using the badge response lexicon, allowing them to accept or reject badges and assign relative weights to accepted badges. This enables consent-based recognition where recipients have control over what badges appear on their profile.

For the full schema, see app.certified.badge.award in the lexicon repo.
