Badges indicate levels of accomplishment each researcher has achieved on the Bugcrowd platform. These badges will be displayed on your public and private profile. Each badge type has a set of levels which researchers can progress through, climbing up that badge’s leaderboard over time.
The badges are grouped into the following badge sets:
- P1 Warrior: Awarded for valid P1 submissions on any program, since January 1, 2019
- Bounty Bee: Awarded for each program with at least one valid submission.
- Collaboration Crusader: Awarded for the number of unique collaboration groups with accepted submissions.
- Submission Shogun: Awarded for the total number of valid submissions across all programs.
The Bounty Bee, Collaboration Crusader, and Submission Shogun badge levels reflects All-Time stats.
In case of collaboration:
- Consider the example: Researcher A has a submission with researcher B. This counts as one unique group. You will earn another point for bringing in a third researcher on a separate submission with up to 5 collaborators available.
- Submission Shogun and P1 Warrior will receive a percentage of the submission based on the percentage defined by the primary researcher for each collaboration. For example, if the submission is split 50/50, each researcher receives 0.5 of a submission.
- Bounty Bee and Collaboration Crusader will receive the bounty or collaboration percentage only if the researcher has a 20% or greater share of the collaboration.
