# SOULBOUND Badge

Badges are special non-transferable NFTs of the SOULBOUND platform in the initial stage. They serve as the entry tickets to the SOULBOUND Protocol, encompassing essential participation requirements for initiatives like the SOULBOUND Launchpad project. Holding a badge is a prerequisite for engaging in and benefiting from various activities within the SOULBOUND ecosystem.
