Badges and Recognition

Earn badges to adorn your profile and celebrate your contributions to the DEV Community!

At DEV, we value and appreciate each member of our Community, and we strive to recognize many of your contributions through our badge system. Let's delve deeper into how you can earn these badges!

Types of Badges

You can explore our extensive badge collection on our comprehensive badge page at https://dev.to/community-badges. Our badges are categorized into two main sections:

  • Community Badges: These celebrate your positive interactions and engagement on DEV, highlighting your role in fostering a thriving community.
  • Coding Badges: These acknowledge your technical expertise, language proficiency, hackathon victories, and more, showcasing a diverse range of skills and achievements.

Each badge has specific qualifications, and we regularly introduce new ones and refresh or retire older ones! Click on any badge to learn about its requirements, and stay updated with our DEV Badges' Series to discover new releases.

Top 7 Badge

One badge of particular interest is our Top 7 badge! Every week, our DEV Team curates a list of the top articles from the previous week. You can explore all our Top 7 articles at https://dev.to/t/top7 to discover past winners and perhaps even prepare a piece to earn your own spot among them!
