Badges
Badges appear on the KPI leaderboard and on contributor profiles. They recognize both activity volume and specialized roles in the Zcash bounty ecosystem.
Task stars (automatic)
Stars are awarded automatically based on the number of bounties a contributor has completed. Admins can also manually override the star level for a user.
| Badge | Name | Threshold | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
 | 1 Task | 1+ completed | First contribution |
 | 5 Tasks | 5+ completed | Consistent contributor |
 | 10 Tasks | 10+ completed | Regular participant |
 | 15 Tasks | 15+ completed | Strong track record |
 | 25 Tasks | 25+ completed | Highly active |
 | 50 Tasks | 50+ completed | Top-tier contributor |
Specialty badges (manual)
These are assigned by admins to recognize specific roles or achievements. A user can hold multiple specialty badges at the same time.
| Badge | Name | How it is earned |
|---|---|---|
 | Admin | Platform administrator |
 | DAO Member | Active ZecHub / Zcash DAO participant |
 | Node Runner | Runs a Zcash full node that supports the ecosystem |
