Step 2: Badge Customization (32 Badges)

Each pathway gets 8 custom badges tailored to your project:

Badge Workshop Agenda:

Review Badge Customization Guide
Brainstorm actions/milestones for each pathway
Design badge names, descriptions, unlock conditions
Set BITS weights (8-128 per badge)
Define progression tiers (Bronze → Silver → Gold → Diamond)

Example: DeFi Protocol Badge Set

Pathway	Badge Name	Unlock Condition	BITS
ALIGN	First Swap	Complete 1 trade	8
ALIGN	Profile Pro	Complete full profile	16
ALPHA	Whale Watcher	$10,000+ TVL	32
ALPHA	Diamond Hands	Hold position 30+ days	64
KARMA	Discord Legend	100+ messages	16
KARMA	Meme Master	Top 10 weekly meme	24
SYNERGY	Referral Champion	10+ referrals	32
SYNERGY	Network King	50+ referrals	128

Step 3: Quest Structure

Define your quest/action tracking:

Quest Types:

⚡ One-time: Complete once (e.g., "First Trade")
🔄 Repeatable: Complete multiple times (e.g., "Daily Check-in")
📈 Progressive: Unlock higher tiers (e.g., "Bronze → Silver → Gold")
⏱️ Time-gated: Available for limited time (e.g., "Launch Week Bonus")

Quest Builder:

{
  "quest_id": "first_trade",
  "name": "First Swap",
  "description": "Complete your first trade on our DEX",
  "pathway": "ALIGN",
  "bits_reward": 8,
  "requirements": {
    "action": "swap",
    "count": 1,
    "min_value": 10
  },
  "unlock_badge": "first_swap_badge",
  "repeatable": false
}

Step 4: BITS Weight Calibration

Set how BITS flow through your system:

Recommended Distribution:

ALIGN: 20-30% of total BITS (onboarding, basics)
ALPHA: 30-40% of total BITS (high-value actions)
KARMA: 15-25% of total BITS (community engagement)
SYNERGY: 15-25% of total BITS (network growth)

Example: 10,000 BITS Total Budget

ALIGN: 2,500 BITS (25%)
ALPHA: 4,000 BITS (40%)
KARMA: 2,000 BITS (20%)
SYNERGY: 1,500 BITS (15%)

12.5% Macro Flow Reminder: Every BITS you distribute, 12.5% automatically flows to user's Macro VerseID, 87.5% stays in your project card.
