CH573F BLE virtual-pet and CTF electronic badge
A source-backed Peruvian Unknown Security Conference 2026 electronic-badge record that joins the official pass's lanyard-and-badge inclusion with Electronic Cats' self-described official Pwn Llama badge repository. Its public history shows hardware work before the June 4-6 Lima event and a July documentation update.

SourceIt upgrades a pass-only identity-artifact record to a public electronic-badge dossier while preserving the stable route and keeping the repository-association, delivery, and image-evidence limits explicit.
Electronic Cats documents a CH573F QFN28 RISC-V/BLE 4.2 board with embedded PCB antenna, a 0.96-inch 128x64 SSD1306 OLED, WS2812B RGB LED, LTR-303ALS-01 light sensor, four directional buttons, USB-C, battery/LiPo connection, 3.3 V regulation, clock crystals, WCH-LinkE SWD, and KiCad 9 schematic, PCB, and footprint sources. This describes the public design, not a final shipped-unit BOM or safety certification.
The repository says the badge runs the PwnPet virtual-pet framework over BLE, with persistent state, peer or friend interactions, and integrated CTF challenges. It identifies this variant as Pwn Llama; no operational instructions, challenge solutions, per-unit provisioning, or production-firmware release is claimed here.
UnknownCon's official site places the June 4-6 event at Auditorio UTEC Barranco in Lima and includes a lanyard plus official badge in the free conference pass. The event site names Electronic Cats' CTO and co-founder as 2026 speakers, while the Electronic Cats repository describes itself as the official UnknownSecurity Conference 2026 badge archive; no direct organizer-to-repository link or confirmed recipient-delivery ledger was recovered.
Lifecycle
The badge repository identifies the PwnPet BLE virtual-pet framework, persistent state, peer or friend interaction, integrated CTF challenges, and this Pwn Llama variant at a high level.

SourceOperational history
The badge is documented as a real event-specific electronic design without claiming universal attendee issue or any final delivery outcome.
Component-level and high-level runtime claims remain tied to the published archive rather than being represented as a final shipped-unit specification.
The record links the hardware source and license while avoiding overbroad reuse, firmware, trademark, or image-rights claims.
The record remains image-free and avoids placeholder or synthetic artwork despite a detailed public electronics archive.
The catalogue can report the repository's own official-project claim and its corroborating event relationship without asserting an unproven publication path by the organizer.
The catalogue records the documented capabilities without making safety, privacy, security, or regulatory claims.
