Badge program

A badge that links to proof

Most trust badges are decoration — a logo anyone can copy. This one is different by construction: the "Receipts by Traceipt" badge links to a live verification that anyone can run in their own browser — Ed25519 signature against published keys, RFC 6962 Merkle inclusion, and the on-chain anchor check against Base. Copying the image gets you nothing; the link either verifies or it doesn't.

Who it's for

x402 services that issue Traceipt receipts for their payments — so their buyers' finance teams get reconcilable, offline-verifiable records instead of ten thousand unexplained bank-statement lines. We're onboarding the first cohort on testnet now; the badge is free for issuing services.

The one rule: the badge must link to a verification — your service's own receipt proof, or the public verifier. A badge that links to proof is a claim your customers can check; a badge that links to a homepage is just a sticker. We'll ask you to fix or remove a badge that doesn't link to proof.

Embed it

HTML (websites, docs):

<a href="https://traceipt.xyz/verify">
  <img src="https://traceipt.xyz/badge.svg"
       alt="Receipts by Traceipt — verified x402 payment receipts"
       width="178" height="28">
</a>

Markdown (READMEs):

[![Receipts by Traceipt](https://traceipt.xyz/badge.svg)](https://traceipt.xyz/verify)

Once your service issues its own receipts, point the link at your receipt proof URL instead of the public verifier — that's the strongest version: your payments, verifiable by your customers.

Why bother

For your buyers: "will an auditor accept this?" answered before they ask — each payment carries a record that verifies without trusting you or us.
For you: a visible differentiator in a directory full of near-identical x402 services — and it costs you one image tag.
Honest by design: the badge makes a narrow claim (receipts are issued and verifiable), not a broad one. It is not a security audit, an endorsement, or a compliance certification.
