# Creators

**Creators** design and publish badges (web3 certificates) with their own certification criteria for others to apply for and receive it. They will determine what information/proof potential badge holders need to provide in order to receive their badge.\
\
They will also set the price of their badge, and their profit comes whenever a person has claimed their badge.

{% hint style="info" %}
For example, Bob is a compliance officer in the traditional world, and he would like to apply his knowledge to increase trust in the Web3 ecosystem. He could register as a creator in TheBadge, and use his knowledge to create the criteria necessary for a project or a person to receive the decentralized compliance badge. 

Then, every time someone claims a badge of this type, Bob will receive his profit for being the creator.
{% endhint %}

In order to become a creator, the user will have to go through a registration process in The Badge.
