Badges signal your credibility to followers, readers, and future copiers. A partner with badges across several categories shows well-rounded expertise: proven results, content people read, a real following, and students who learned from them. This article covers how to think about building that profile.
How it works
- Your badges are listed on the Badges tab of your Community Hub, grouped by category, with earned badges in colour and the rest marked Locked.
- Status badges tie to approvals: Verified Partner when your partner application is approved, and Echo Writer when your Echo writer application is approved.
- Tiered badges (Bronze through Diamond) mark milestones in each category.
- Earned badges appear alongside your name on your posts and profile.
What each category proves
- Performance (Rising Tide through Legendary Returns): your portfolio returns.
- Content: that people read what you write on Ezana Echo.
- Community: that you have a real following.
- Education: that students enroll in your courses.
- Impact: that users achieved returns from your strategies. These are the most prestigious, and they depend on copy trading, which is on the roadmap.
A practical plan
- Complete your profile and apply for Echo Writer to secure both status badges.
- Publish articles regularly to work up the Content track.
- Post consistently in Community to build followers.
- Build a course to open the Education track.
Troubleshooting
- Badge not showing after a milestone? Counts are not reflected instantly. Allow a day, then contact support with the badge name.
- Impact badges not moving? Expected until copy trading launches.
- Echo Writer badge missing after approval? Refresh the Badges tab, then contact support if it has not appeared.
