### What is KYVE?

This is a system that enables projects to standardize, validate and permanently store their data.

### badge

KYVE has created special badges to reward users who have been involved in improving KYVE prior to the start of Mission Korellia. These badges are like certificates, giving value to users' contributions. For example, if a user earns a badge for running a node for a long time, their node will be more trustworthy and therefore more likely to choose a newer node without a badge.

### How does KYVE work?

By leveraging a permanent data storage solution like Arweave, KYVE's Cosmos SDK chain creates permanent backups and ensures that these resources are scalable, immutable, and available over time.
