A few badges that mean something, and achievement posts for the rest
Badges for bringing people in and for the monthly top three. Achievement posts for every other win.
Asyncbit keeps its badge list short on purpose. There are no badges for your tenth post or your hundredth reaction. The current catalog has three groups: invite badges, monthly leaderboard badges, and a verification badge.
Invite badges come from bringing people in. When someone signs up with your invite code, you get 40 points, and successful invites add up to badges: Recruiter at 5, Connector at 25 and Community builder at 100. The Monthly #1, #2 and #3 badges go to the people who finish in the top three of a monthly leaderboard — the same people who receive that month's cash prizes. Because the list is this short, each badge is easy to read: a Community builder badge means a hundred people joined through that person's invite code.
Badges you've earned appear on your profile. Achievements are something else: a post type for the wins no badge system could know about — a job offer, a finished marathon, a first open-source contribution. Achievement posts are always posted under your name, earn 10 points by default, and get reactions and comments like any other post.
How badges & achievements works on Asyncbit
- 1
Invite people
Share your invite code. Each person who signs up with it earns you 40 points and counts toward the next invite badge.
- 2
Finish top three in a month
Place first, second or third on a monthly leaderboard to earn the matching Monthly badge.
- 3
Post an achievement
Pick Achievement in the composer, say what happened and why it mattered, and add photos if you have them.
- 4
Celebrate other people
React to achievement posts or leave a comment. A comment earns you 3 points by default.
What makes it worth using
A short, real catalog
Three invite badges, three monthly badges and a verification badge.
No milestone noise
Nothing for post counts or likes, so a badge actually says something.
Can't be bought
Asyncbit has no in-app purchases, so badges can only be earned.
Achievements are social
A post type built for the community to celebrate with you.
Monthly badges come with prizes
The top three each month get a badge and, by default, a cash prize.
Badges & achievements questions
- How do I get badges on Asyncbit?
- By inviting people who sign up (5, 25 and 100 invites) or by finishing in the top three of a monthly leaderboard. There's also a verification badge.
- Are there badges for posting a lot?
- No. There are no posting-milestone badges. Posting earns points and levels instead.

- A badge is awarded by Asyncbit for invites or a monthly ranking. An achievement is a post you write yourself about a win of your own.

- What does an invite earn me?
