The complete list of 30 Dev.to badges 🏅 and how to catch them all (almost)

As a new Dev.to user and collectible fan, the first moment I found out about the badges, I knew I want to collect them ALL!

I found a list of them on https://dev.to/badges but decided to make it more friendly to new users (and added a few words on how to get each of them)

Unfortunately not every badge is attainable anymore 😔

Complete list of existing 30 Dev.to badges:

1. Top 7 Badge - "Awarded for having at least one post featured in the weekly "must-reads" list at any point. 🙌" - you need a great post that gets cherry-picked (🍒) by the Dev.to's 'must-read' list curators.

   

2. Beloved Comment Badge - "Awarded for making a comment which the community loved, as voted on with heart(❤️) reactions."

   

3. Fab 5 Badge - "Awarded for having at least one comment featured in the weekly "top 5 posts" list." - if you make a great comment (and have some luck)

Gotta catch 'em all

[K]

I got a rare one! 🤣

[Ben Halpern]

Wow neat!

For everybody's info we do plan on adding more technology badges to the ones we have. We picked some popular tags to start.

Likely everyone is seeing badges they feel are missing.

We have a few other badges coming too.

And the Pusher badges cannot be achieved because it was a one time contest. Very rare 😄

[Sven Kanoldt]

is there a possibility to contribute with badges as PR?

[Ben Halpern]

Yes, we have contributions such as this one...

For existing badge issue. Feel free to open an issue for a hypothetical badge. We don't currently have an explicit process for the design portion of badges, but now that you mention it I'll work to come up with one.

[zenmumbler]

Oddly, my account is now 1.5 years old and I never seem to have received the 1 year club badge. Are there other requirements for it?

[Matt Eland]

Yeah, my inner .NET and TypeScript developer had a sad.

[Laurie]

I have 9, none of the exclusives that you can't get anymore, and this list is now gonna haunt me!

Why did you do this to me?!?!

[Ben Halpern]

We're really interested in doing more contests and other one-time things like this, just haven't gotten around to it!

But yes, nobody will be able to collect everything. We may want to come up with a way to distinguish these types of badges.

P.S. we have a new badge page, not yet totally finalized in design...

dev.to/badges

[Laurie]

Nice :) Knowing what is out there is fun. I’m currently trying to get all the JS badges. Angular down, Vue, React and JS to go!

[Aditya Sharma]

I already earned hacktoberfest badge and redeemed it, but where do i find it in my profile?

[Corey McCarty]

I have a question about the 4 week badge, as I haven't received it and I have published for each of the last 7 weeks.

[Giuseppe Vetri]

I'll be waiting for the Dart, Android, and Flutter badge. #TeamMobile 😄

[Deepak Raj]

I have started my journey with DEV.to in this month. Hope, I will get cool badge soon.

DevCommunity

[John McCracken]

just to point out the php badge has the python text copy pasted to it.

Cheers for a great informative post.

[SwissGreg]

Good catch, fixed!

[K]

Haha, I think I was in the top 7 two times, once even 1st. But I didn't get one of theae tech specific badges 🤔

[Ben Halpern]

They're pretty new

[Bradley Wells]

And I thought I was doing pretty well with four badges! Good post

[Sven Kanoldt]

we definitely NEEED a rust badge!

[Zen]

Hacktoberfest badge:

[SwissGreg]

Thanks, added!

[Shahroz Ahmed]

am confused about how we got the badges ... either they will be visible to our account or dev.to send us the sticker of that badges????

[SwissGreg]

The badges should be visible on your account, on the right side, like: dev.to/swissgreg

[Shahroz Ahmed]

oh I see... its look pretty cool and Congratulations SwissGerg for all your these achievements😊

[Andrew Bone]

I'm on 5/30, I guess that's not too bad.

[Alimam Miya]

Can you explain Unicorn?
