User List Badges allow you to define membership based on curated or pre-identified audiences rather than onchain activity. They are commonly used for partner lists, early users, KOLs, allowlists, internal cohorts, or any audience you’ve already identified outside the campaign. These badges are especially useful when onchain verification is not appropriate or when you want precise control over who is eligible.

​
Accessing user list badges

To create a User List Badge, navigate to: Campaign Sidebar → Badges → Custom Lists Click Add User List in the top-right corner to begin configuration.

​
Audience sources

The first step is selecting how the audience will be defined. You can choose between:
  • EVM, Solana, or Twitter user lists uploaded via CSV
  • Existing workspace audiences, which are segments you’ve already defined at the workspace level
Once the source type is selected, you upload a CSV file or select an existing audience and follow the validation steps shown in the UI. Absinthe validates the file to ensure identities are properly formatted and sanitized before ingestion. This validation step prevents malformed data and ensures accurate claim verification.

​
Badge configuration and rewards

After the audience is defined, you configure the badge itself. This includes:
  • Badge name
  • Description
  • Image
  • Tags
You then define the reward issued when a user claims the badge, including:
  • Reward currency (XP, Gold, or Gems)
  • Reward amount
Rewards integrate directly with the campaign’s points and gamification system.

​
Claiming behavior

User List Badges are claimable. Eligible users must visit the campaign webpage and actively claim the badge. Absinthe verifies the user’s identity against the uploaded list or workspace audience at claim time. If the user is included in the list, the badge is issued and the reward is granted.

Why user list badges matter

User List Badges give you full control over who can participate in a campaign or receive specific rewards. They are ideal for targeted partnerships, private communities, curated access, and campaigns where precision matters more than scale. By combining user lists with other membership badge types, you can build layered eligibility models that reflect real-world relationships and campaign intent.
