What are the badges in cricket NFTs and why are they given?

Rohit Sankar

Rario are pioneers in the field of cricket NFTs with its marketplace flooded with eye-catching moments of action from the cricket field from across the globe.

NFT are digital tokens which gives the owner a right to whatever it is that the NFT represents. It has taken the cricketing world by storm because now, you get to preserve that slice of history you only had in your head as a vague memory. Cricket NFTs could be cricket artifacts, a moment in the field or a simple player card. 

Rario has created a marketplace of wonderful cricketing moments from around the globe and users can buy, sell or trade moments here. Each Moment is tagged with a “Badge” which is a one-word symbol that indicates the significance of that Moment.

Each moment is a 30-second video of an notable event in the field with the backstory creating a cricketing NFT for users to buy and cherish. 

The Badges belong to two dimensions: “Play Quality” and “Play Context”.

Play Quality refers to the aesthetic and skill-based worth of a particular Moment. It comprises of Badges that reward massive sixes and innovative strokeplay by a batter, unplayable deliveries by a bowler, and brilliant catches or athletic displays by fielders.

Play Context takes into account the relevance of a Moment in terms of the match in which it occurred, or even the league as a whole. The Badges within this category highlight the accomplishment of milestones, clutch performances by players, all-round efforts by players in a match, and match-defining Moments.

Rohit Sankar is a cricket journalist stuck in a love-hate live-in relationship with the game. To rile him up, mention the 1999 World Cup semi-final.
