🏅Attendance Badges

Attendance badges are proof that you attended a meetup or event in the Hedera ecosystem. Each badge adds 100 XP to your season total and counts toward the badge missions.

⚙️ How It Works

🎟️ Check In at the Event

Hosts can record attendance in three ways:

Method	How you check in
📷 QR code	Scan the QR the host shows, connect your wallet and click Confirm Attendance
🔗 Attendance link	Open the link the host shares (for X Spaces, Discord calls or online events), connect your wallet and confirm
✍️ Added by the host	The host adds your wallet address by hand, for example if you couldn't scan the QR

🔐 Why Codes Expire

• 📷 The QR carries a 12-character code that changes every 60 seconds, and a code stops working shortly after it changes. This keeps check-ins to the people who are there. If you see Code Expired, scan the QR again.
• 🔗 An attendance link works for 20 minutes. When the host creates a new link, the previous one stops working.
• 👛 Each wallet can check in to an event once.

🔒 When the Host Ends the Event

When the host clicks End event, attendance is locked for good:

• 🏅 Every wallet on the check-in list gets the badge.
• 🚫 No more check-ins are accepted, whether by QR, link or manual add.

Badges are recorded by Hashly: nothing is minted or sent to your wallet, and you don't need to associate any token.

⛓️ On-Chain Record

Every check-in is written to the attendance topic on the Hedera Consensus Service: 0.0.10300837. When the record is written, the confirmation screen shows its number (for example, On-chain record: HCS #65).

HCS message format:

{
  "type": "event_checkin",
  "version": 2,
  "wallet": "0.0.xxxxx",
  "event_id": "cuid123...",
  "event_name": "Hedera Meetup",
  "event_type": "ECOSYSTEM_MEETUP",
  "timestamp": 1234567890
}

Check-ins are public and permanent, together with your account ID. See the Privacy Policy.

🎯 Badge XP and Missions

• ⚡ Each badge adds 100 XP to the season in which the host ended the event.
• 🐉 The Dragon Boost doesn't apply to badge XP.
• 🏆 Badges also count toward these missions:

Mission	Requirement	XP
🏅 Badge Holder	Earn 1 attendance badge this season	300
🏆 Badge Collector	Earn 3 attendance badges this season	1,000
👑 Elite Collector (Premium)	Earn 5 attendance badges this season	2,000

📌 Example: You attend 3 meetups in one month, and each host ends their event that month. You get 3 × 100 = 300 badge XP, plus Badge Holder (300 XP) and Badge Collector (1,000 XP): 1,600 XP before any Dragon Boost on the missions.

🗂️ Older Badges

Earlier attendance badges were minted as NFTs and airdropped to attendees. Badges are now recorded by Hashly when the host ends the event, without NFTs or airdrops.

💡 Tips

• 👛 Connect your wallet before the event starts, so checking in takes seconds.
• 📷 Scan again if the code expired: a fresh code appears every minute.
• 🗓️ Mind the season: a badge counts in the season the host ends the event, so a meetup on the last day of a month can count toward the next season.
• 🎯 Open the Missions page afterwards to collect the badge missions.
