In the Fall of 2021, PrimeDAO started working on Badges 2 as a solution to provide context to roles and relationships within a DAO.
An MVP which utilized ERC1155 token standards was developed in December 2021 and is primarily geared toward recognizing different types of contributors in a DAO. The tool was piloted by The DAOist, which uses it for the Governance of DAWN, their governing DAO.
Due to budgetary constraints, the MVP of Badger was never progressed, and a full version is yet to be released. In the case of a new funding round, Badger development would have continued in Q3 2022; however, the market circumstances made this complex, and Prime had to decrease its spending aggressively. As a result, Badger had to be deprioritized further. At this time, more soul-bound token and badger-like projects started popping up. Prime engaged all of the different builder groups to evaluate which project shares the Prime ethos and product vision. The conversation with them developed further based on Otterspace’s focus on DAO operators, individual contributor recognition, and user-friendliness. Prime Contributors started drafting a vision on how to use the Otterspace technology for the better coordination of PrimeDAO.
