On-chain loyalty programs, contributor badges, and wallet-native reputation tiers
The implementation combines first-party contributor status with optional ERC-1155 badge reads when a deployment provides the loyalty contract and RPC access. I present it as an implementation to verify, not as a deployed token economy.

Why on-chain loyalty differs from points
- User-held status: badge possession sits with the wallet, not a hidden points table.
- Portable reputation: a contributor can prove role status elsewhere when a signed or on-chain badge exists.
- Publisher-safe scope: the model fits contributor verification, corrections workflows, and partner trust more than discounts or cashback gimmicks.
Choose the least risky credential
| Credential | Strength | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Private account status | Easy revocation, privacy, and support recovery | Not portable outside the issuer |
| Signed verifiable credential | Portable proof with selective presentation options | Verifier and revocation infrastructure still required |
| On-chain badge | Public availability and independent lookup | Public linkage, transfer policy, permanence, and key recovery require explicit controls |
Implementation and deployment status
The code implements these paths, but production behavior depends on secrets, RPC access, contract addresses, and the target environment. Treat a feature as live only after an independent end-to-end check confirms that deployment, and keep a conventional non-wallet fallback because no traveler path may be Web3-only.
Common questions
Is on-chain loyalty verified in production?
No. The code supports contract-backed loyalty reads, but production behavior depends on deployed addresses and RPC configuration and still needs independent verification.
What standard is used for loyalty badges?
The implementation includes an ERC-1155 loyalty badge contract and can read badge balances plus highest-tier state when configured.

- Readiness rule
- Scaffold means designed, not implemented. Beta means implemented with production verification pending. Live means independently verified end to end. Source code, ABI files, endpoints, or configuration never prove production availability.

Source hierarchy
- Primary standards: Protocol specifications and standards bodies define what an implementation must do.
- Security guidance: Threat-model and identity guidance define controls, failure handling, and recovery expectations.
- Deployment evidence: Independent end-to-end checks establish whether a configured production capability is live.
- Editorial judgment: I apply those sources to revenue-travel decisions and state where the evidence stops.
