These certifications apply to Off-Chain events and are issued on-chain only after a verification process, which can be done in two ways: decentralized (Community Badges) or centralized (ThirdParty Badges). The decentralized process uses an optimistic verification model that incentivizes the community to detect false data, with disputes handled through decentralized arbitration (e.g., Kleros.io). The centralized option allows entities like companies or institutions to issue verified diplomas or credentials through TheBadge, leveraging its infrastructure to offer on-chain credentials to their communities.\n\nBy providing a decentralized credential issuing solution, TheBadge enables educational platforms to issue verifiable certificates on-chain. This is particularly impactful in Latin America, where many educational platforms, such as Solow.io, operate. TheBadge helps regional educators issue secure, transparent credentials, enhancing their reach and reputation. With support from the Web3 Community, TheBadge can expand its influence and help Latin American institutions access innovative tools for trusted credentialing in the OSS ecosystem.", "hidden": true, "question": "How does your project contribute to the growth of the OSS ecosystem?

Functioning as a decentralized certification platform, it supports two types of web3 certifications, third-party and community.\n\nTheBadge's vision is to accelerate RWA adoption by simplifying the tokenization companies' compliance process by leveraging a decentralized certification process. \n\nTheBadge does this while providing one of the best user experiences in the web3 ecosystem allowing users to interact with the Dapp without the need for gas or a web3 wallet. This is all done to set the ground to onboard the next 100M users to this fantastic ecosystem.\n\n# Types of Web3 certifications\n\n![Certification Examples!](https://4095712304-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyxW1cw7TpCWibYzKSlF0%2Fuploads%2FhQldCymSuDV3nzAZUYhN%2FGroup%201726Docu1.png?alt=media&token=55ded454-338d-485d-8896-4c70e2aa1c7e&width=768&dpr=1&quality=100&sign=488cb9e396df355a5741c04557a7ca797aaffcf8e6b1de0affb6b4d30fb5b744)\n\n\ud83d\udc49 Community Certifications These web3 certifications are verified and validated by the community before being issued on-chain. The community is incentivized financially to curate data attempted to be certified.\n\nLearn more about how this works in our *[Docs](https://doc.thebadge.xyz/protocol-mechanics/how-it-works)*\n\n\ud83d\udc49 Third-party certifications require no verification since it is backed by a third-party company. In this case, TheBadge provides the infrastructure to design, issue, and distribute the certifications with the easiest user experience in web3. Final users are not required to have a Web3 wallet or gas to claim the Web3 certificate. All they need is a traditional email address.\n\nCheck the certificates already issued using TheBadge by the e-learning platform \"The Accountant Quits\" *[Here](https://x.com/thebadgexyz/status/1755700355982102979)*\n\n# Protocol Participants:\n\n1\ufe0f\u20e3 Creators - They design and create the certification standards.

They have to provide the evidence requested and a security deposit. This security deposit stays there during the evidence review period.
