Badges are a way for people to put their own stamp of verification on certain things... but we haven't seen a ton of badges going that direction except to verify action in communities or ownership. But the badges are just doing them in a very centralized manner for the most part not many badge owners developing more indepth ways to verify and prove that the person who owns a badge should own the badge. For example i was give the Ukraine badge and had to request for it to not be given to me because I've never even been to ukraine.
I look forward to the day when there are some next level badge projects who take seriously the idea of automated or decentralized verification. I think that will prompt us to push a bunch of updates to badges that have long been needed.
Some of these types of badges could be even more interesting and useful than verification marks on other social media. But also not sure we'll see them happen terribly soon. They do take a lot of work and ingenuity and usually developer skills
I would agree with the centralised thingy as the main purpose of decentralisation is that you own the account.. but i guess badges would just serve as additional identification or verification of authenticity..
