Overview
Vora's gamification system transforms community engagement into a rewarding experience. By introducing badges, XP (experience points), and tiered recognition, you can incentivize participation and create exclusive voting privileges for your most engaged community members.
Why Gamification?
Traditional voting platforms treat all participants equally, regardless of their level of engagement. While democratic, this approach doesn't recognize or reward the community members who consistently contribute valuable feedback.
Vora's gamification system solves this by:
- Rewarding Active Participation - Members earn XP for voting and submitting ideas
- Creating Exclusive Access - Badge holders can be granted special voting privileges
- Building Community Status - Visual badges showcase member achievements
- Driving Quality Engagement - Tiered rewards encourage sustained, meaningful participation
Per-Space Tracking
Important: Vora tracks XP and badges separately for each space. This means:
- XP is space-specific - Earning 50 XP in Space A doesn't affect your XP in Space B
- Badges belong to spaces - Reaching a threshold in Space A earns you a badge in Space A only
- Members can earn the same badge type multiple times - One per space they participate in
- Profile shows everything - Both total stats and per-space breakdown
This per-space model ensures that your recognition accurately reflects your engagement within each specific community.
Key Components
1. Badge System
Create custom NFT-backed badges with different rarity tiers. Badges are earned automatically when members reach XP thresholds in your space, providing tangible recognition for their contributions.

2. Badge Earner Voting Mode
A powerful voting eligibility mode that restricts voting to members who hold specific badges. Perfect for expert panels, VIP feedback, or rewarding your most engaged community members with exclusive voting rights.
