# Badge Receiver

Badge receivers are users claiming their desired badges to verify specific information. 

They will be responsible for providing the evidence requested by the creator of their desired badge. Also, when applying for their desired badge, they will need to pay a small fee and leave a deposit. 

{% hint style="info" %}
The fee is the cost that the creators define on it when they create the certificate, you can read more about it [here](/protocol-participants/creators.md), and the deposit will be the reward of the curators in case the information submitted is challenged and the [challenge](/protocol-mechanics/challenge.md) is lost. 
{% endhint %}
