Genesis Badges: Recognizing the First DomainFi Leaderboard Climbers

As Doma transitions from Season 0 into Season 1, we are entering an important milestone.

The final eligibility window is now open for domains that are still actively bonding. Eligible wallets will be able to mint their Day One Badges in 7 days.

These badges are more than a collectible. They serve as a permanent record of the wallets that participated early, before the leaderboard fully developed, before the ecosystem scaled, and before DomainFi became widely recognized.

The First to Build DomainFi

Season 0 was not just an introduction. It was the foundation. Early participants bonded into domain launches, traded actively, held positions, and competed on the leaderboard. Every action contributed to shaping the first version of the DomainFi market.

Genesis Badges recognize that contribution: They represent the earliest community, the users who didn’t just join Doma, but helped build it.

Genesis Badge Types

To reflect different levels of participation during Season 0, two Genesis Badges are being distributed:

🔵 Day One Badge

Awarded to wallets that participated in bonding activity across Doma launches prior to Season 1.

Eligibility:

• Minimum net spend of $10 USD
• Minimum holding period of 7 days
• Qualification must happen while that domain is still in bonding / within its active eligibility window

This means Day One Badges are not global and not retroactive. You can earn multiple Day One Badges, with each one tied to a specific eligible domain.

➕ Day One badge = 1% lifetime leaderboard boost. (Boosts stack)

🟡 Founder Badge

Awarded to wallets that participated in Doma’s premium and ultra-premium launches:

• brag.com
• boner.com
• software.ai

Eligibility:

• Minimum net spend of $10 USD
• Minimum holding period of 7 days

➕ Founder badge = 1% lifetime leaderboard boost + an additional 2x on trading points earned on boner.com, brag.com, and software.ai

Founder Badges are no longer obtainable. Wallets that already earned them will keep their benefits.

How the Eligibility Window Works

The final eligibility window for earning a Day One Badge begins today.

To qualify for a Day One Badge, a wallet must meet the eligibility requirements for a specific domain while that domain is still in bonding / still eligible. Once a domain has finished bonding, you can no longer go back and qualify for its badge later.

In other words, Day One Badge eligibility is per domain and not retroactive.

All Genesis Badges are soulbound to the wallet that earned them. They cannot be transferred, sold, or moved. They remain a permanent marker of early participation. Badges stack, meaning wallets with multiple qualifying badges can accumulate multiple lifetime boosts.

You still have a chance to earn your Day 1 Badge, start here.

Proof of Early Participation

In Doma, points are a scoreboard, but they represent something bigger. Doma is bringing a $360B+ domain asset class onchain. The users who participated in Season 0 are not just early adopters, they are the initial layer of a new market.

Genesis Badges act as proof of that position.

They are a visible, onchain record that you were part of the system before it scaled, before broader participation, before increased competition, and before new opportunities are introduced.

What's Next?

Genesis Badges signify the close of Season 0 and the beginning of the next phase of the Doma ecosystem. Season 1 will introduce a more structured and competitive system, more details will be announced soon.
