'''Badges''' are icons that appear on a user's profile to signify their contributions to the platform.

== Lists of badges ==
=== Individual badges ===
The following badges only have a single tier, which is to either have the badge or not. They are often used to signify contributions or involvement, but can also reflect a current temporary state, such as the VRChat+ badge.

==Managing badges ==
Badges can be managed in the badge gallery on the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]] profile tab. Each badge has settings a user can change. You can display up to three badges on your profile at a time.

* '''Show badge on profile:''' When enabled, the badge will be showcased on the user's profile. When disabled, the badge will only be viewable in the user's badge gallery.
* '''Hide badge:''' When enabled, the badge will be hidden on the user's profile and badge gallery.

==Trivia ==
*The Early Supporter Badge featuring [[VRCat]] on the website is pettable.
*If you are actively subscribed to VRChat+, you can repeatedly click on VRCat in your [[Quick Menu]] to 'pet' them. VRCat will say a phrase when being pet.
*The high number of gifting tiers exists to account for users who immediately achieved the highest badge upon its release.
*When obtaining the CHEESE badge, the user's background in their web profile will change to a cheesy background, this is only visible to the obtainer.
