- Electronics makers curious about embedded Solana projects
- Worth noticing
- The browser demo runs the badge’s C firmware compiled to WebAssembly and stores a devnet wallet in browser storage.
Field notes
The page lays out the launch sequence in four steps: send a PNG or JPEG over USB, enter the name and description from a PC keyboard, upload the image and metadata to IPFS with the user's key, then approve the built transaction on the badge. Its browser version uses a devnet wallet kept in browser storage and asks for devnet SOL and an IPFS key before launching. The maker notes that the physical badge has no battery yet.
