This month happens to be my birthday month, and actually many milk tea shops have birthday gifts. Last year on my birthday, I received a birthday badge while drinking milk tea. I have always found badges to be very interesting; they are not just a symbol, but more like a testament to an experience. So I have developed a habit of collecting birthday badges every year.

Speaking of badges, I think of going to Disney to fish for golden pigs last year on my birthday. Each person had a limit on the number of times they could fish, and everyone in my family maxed out their attempts, but not a single pig came out. It was all badge lanyards and badges, and my heart was broken. Next time, I want to go back and redeem myself!

I happened to see that @humafinance also has three special badges recently: OG LP, Vanguard, and Anchor. I would like to share my understanding of them with everyone.

The OG LP badge is quite simple; it is given to those who provided liquidity for Huma before April 2025.

If you are already providing liquidity, maintaining a liquidity of over 100 USDC will allow you to keep it, and you will also receive some exclusive perks for OGs.

For old users, there is almost no cost, but new users who miss this time can directly look at the other two badges.

The Vanguard badge is for those who stake $HUMA, and there are two ways to obtain it:

1⃣ Stake according to the number of airdrops. If it's less than 100,000, stake all of it. For 100,000 to 200,000, stake 100,000. For amounts over 200,000, just stake half. However, the deadline was already June 15.

2⃣If there is no airdrop, you can directly stake 100,000 $HUMA, and after sticking for 6 months, you will be able to get it. After that, as long as you keep at least 10,000 $HUMA staked, you can retain the badge.

This badge is more like a recognition for long-term supporters, and those with ample funds find it easier to achieve.

Anchor badge is a bonus pass for LPs.
It means that as long as you deposit 1000 USDC and lock it for 6 months, and then deposit the same amount again within 3 months after the maturity, locked for another 6 months, the deposit limit will be increased to twice the amount of the first deposit or the official set single wallet limit (whichever is larger).

If you plan to be a long-term LP, this badge will be very useful, but since it involves two locking periods, you need to consider your cash flow carefully.

Badges are essentially an additional reward. It's nice to receive them, but it's not necessary to force yourself for them. Maintaining your own pace is the most important.
