DCZia MK9 Badge at DEF CON 34 · 2026

DCZia MK9 Badge (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event RP2040 mechanical macropad BadgeLife project

DCZia's MK9 is a public-source 3×3 mechanical macropad intended as a neck-wearable DEF CON 34 BadgeLife project. Project documentation specifies nine MX switches, RGB per-key and edge lighting, an accelerometer, two 6-pin SAO connectors, USB-C or three-AAA power, CircuitPython firmware, and QMK-compatible hardware. A public August 2 announcement says the project plans BadgeLife pickup, but this remains a pre-event independent badge rather than an official DEF CON admission credential.

DEF CON 34 Badge

Completed electronic Human badge with Baochip, QR interaction, and post-event token conversion

DEF CON's official news confirms DEF CON 34 wrapped on August 10, 2026. Its official badge-help page now documents the issued electronic Human badge's post-conference conversion to a hardware security token, current firmware-update path, public source-code links, and the in-conference encrypted-QR light-pattern exchange. The official July 31 reveal names Bunnie Huang as creator and Baochip as the inspectable silicon platform, while the public core-module KiCad archive and `dc34-vault` source provide a specific hardware and software trail. This establishes a completed official badge record without treating later public source as a production ledger or a reusable-image grant.

DEF CON 34 Shitty Add-On (narengogi)

Independent LED/2×3-header SAO source project; physical build and host compatibility unverified

The public narengogi/defcon-34-shitty-add-on repository describes itself only as an SAO for DEF CON 34. Its single commit contains a native KiCad project, board, schematic, Gerber outputs, an archive, and vector artwork; the board source includes DC 34 and narengogi silkscreen text, a 2×3 generic connector, and LED/resistor-labelled source entries. That is enough to preserve an independent, source-only pre-event add-on project whose formal product name is not published. It is not evidence of a fabricated board, a specific SAO version or pinout, working electronics, a compatible host, a DEF CON or BadgeLife relationship, a sale or giveaway, attendee delivery, a credential function, or a reusable image.

DEF CON 34 Silent Disco Badge

Maker-published physical silent-disco badge; organizer role and handoff unverified

LastZactionHero's public repository is titled DEF CON Silent Disco Badge and documents a wearable electronic badge that plays local DJ mixes, drives a music-linked light show, and syncs badge-to-badge over infrared. Its August 4 maintainer update says the boards were fabricated, assembled, and playing music, and that every badge's QR silkscreen points to the repository. The public archive contains KiCad design and fabrication material, firmware, and a MIT license, sufficient to record a distinct maker-published physical DEF CON 34-associated artifact. No reviewed DEF CON, venue, silent-disco organizer, sales, or handoff source establishes official issuance, a run size, recipient allocation, or completed event distribution.

DEFCON Furs 2026 Badge

Sold-out RP2040, LoRa, NFC, and LED community-event badge preorder

DEFCON Furs' official 2026 site and Hack Your Lives donation-store listing identify a distinct 2026 #badgelife badge for the DEF CON 34 period. The currently sold-out listing describes an assembled badge plus a blank PCB, an RP2040, LoRa radio, NFC, 48 RGB LEDs, MicroPython, touch points, and an SAO 1.69bis interface. It says paid orders will be assembled and shipped by September 30, while blanks were offered for in-person DEF CON pickup. Those are organizer-published preorder and planned-fulfillment statements, not proof that every order shipped, that each unit has the described final configuration, or that a specific recipient collected one.

DFIU SAO (DEF CON 34)

Independent CH32V003 touch-and-audio SAO announced for DEF CON 34

BigFuckingBadge's live DEF CON 34 page presents a $20 OffensiveSAO around touching Lintile's face to play a "Don't Fuck It Up" cheer track. The public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response identifies that item as the DFIU SAO from BigFuckingBadge / Hexum064 and links public CH32V003 hardware and firmware repositories. The firmware's PlatformIO target is `genericCH32V003F4U6`; its `main.c` initializes touch ADC support, reads a touch input on PD2, starts sampled audio when the threshold is crossed, and configures a PWM audio path plus D/F/I/U and display LED outputs. The public hardware tree contains a KiCad PCB/schematic, BOM/position files, and Gerbers. Together these sources establish a real planned independent electronic SAO associated with DEF CON 34—not an official DEF CON issue, admission credential, confirmed handoff, final production revision, safety-tested product, open-source license grant, or rights-cleared image.

DOJOConf Panamá 2026 Electronic Badge

Limited ticket-holder CH573F badge with a public hardware archive

DOJOConf Panamá's official page advertises a limited, separately purchased electronic badge available only to ticket holders, with an integrated OLED, four physical buttons, and a rechargeable USB-C battery. An organizer-controlled update says the 2026 badge will be useful in the CTF, and an Electronic Cats post names that organization as the edition's designer and maker. Electronic Cats' public `badge-dojocon-2026` repository separately identifies itself as the official Badge DojoCon Panamá 2026 archive and has a pre-event v1.0 release. Its commit-pinned documentation records a CH573F RISC-V/BLE design with an OLED, directional buttons, a WS2812B LED, USB-C, and a battery connection. These sources establish a real event artifact and public design trail, not completed delivery or a source-to-recipient configuration mapping.

Darknet-NG SMAO (DEF CON 34)

Open-source pre-event 125-unit Meshtastic Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

Darknet-NG's own current badge page identifies the Darknet-NG SMAO as its Level 3 build: a full Meshtastic node in an SAO form factor. The maker's live Uberflux product payload describes a $55 125-unit presale and currently reports 125 sold with zero remaining, no shipping options, and DEF CON 34 contest-booth pickup only; that is a time-specific availability snapshot, not proof of completed manufacture, collection, or delivery. A matching maker-owned, commit-pinned `dcbokonon/darknet-smao` release now publishes the v1.4 KiCad project, fabrication outputs, BOM/placement data, firmware build material, and RF-tuning source, alongside an MIT-licensed official upstream board render. This is a source-backed independent pre-event mesh-radio add-on record, not independent RF/compliance validation, a DEF CON organizer-issued product, conference credential, admission right, or completed fulfillment record.

Day of the Dead Turkey v1 (DEF CON 34)

Independent blue/yellow LED Day of the Dead Turkey v1 soldering kit offered for DEF CON 34

Cabinet of Distinctm1nd's live Day of the Dead Turkey v1 product page listed a currently available $12 kit in this August 4, 2026 source pass. It calls the artifact either an oversize minibadge or a standalone badge that can be pinned to a lanyard; in standalone form it uses a CR2032 battery and has blue-or-yellow LED colors. The maker says it requires soldering and that all components are 1206 or larger, then limits DEF CON pickup to buyers planning collection on August 6-8, 2026. The public DEF CON 34 Badgelife response separately lists Day of the Dead Turkey v1, v2 as a new $12 badge and calls it a standalone small badge or a Saintcon minibadge. These sources establish a real planned independent light-up kit and current event association—not the exact distinction between v1 and v2, final circuitry or components, completed fulfillment, SAINTCON distribution, official DEF CON issuance or admission, firmware/source/license terms, or a rights-cleared image.

RestiaAshdoll8's public DEFCON-SG-2026-Div0-Tingkat-eBadge repository says it contains source code and relevant files used in a physical Div0 Tingkak eBadge. It preserves a UF2, RP2040/Pico-focused source, artwork, and SAO project files. Its sources conflict on event identity: the repository title names DEF CON Singapore while its firmware menu banner says SINCON 2026 BADGE. This record keeps the DEF CON Singapore association maker-declared rather than resolving that conflict into official event status.

This source-backed record preserves that planned, package-scoped electronic-badge claim. It does not turn the standard conference kit or the prior 2025 badge into evidence that general 2026 conference attendees receive the same artifact.

Pre-event independently organized EFF-affiliated BadgeLife fundraiser

Eventbrite lists EFF "Electric Fist" BadgeLife (DEF CON 34) under H4r0ld & V3rbaal's House Of Hacker Horrors. The listing says its BadgeLife proceeds support Electronic Frontier Foundation's mission to defend digital privacy and online freedom; its FAQ says the project is officially affiliated with EFF but independently organized by H4r0ld and V3rbaal. It calls Electric Fist the pair's third EFF BadgeLife design, offers reruns of two prior designs at checkout, and announces online orders with Demo Labs pickup from 10 AM to noon on Friday and Saturday. This is a source-backed pre-event BadgeLife fundraising offering, not a delivery report, hardware specification, official DEF CON admission credential, or an EFF-designed or EFF-sold product claim.

Firefly Jar SAO (DEF CON 34)

Sold-out pre-event Lepi Labs SAOv3-proposal lighting Simple Add-On for DEF CON 34

Lepi Labs' own Uberflux listing identifies the Firefly Jar as a DEF CON 34-drop Simple Add-On. Its August 4, 2026 marketplace state is out of stock, with 25 sold, zero remaining, and a $25 listed price. The maker describes seven orange reverse-mounted LEDs, an ATtiny824 controller, UPDI reprogramming, vendor commands, and compatibility with Rare Circuit's proposed SAOv3 I2C-based interface. It says the SAO can expose vendor/product IDs, port and command metadata, generic LED controls, and its own lighting modes; the listing also explicitly says it does not support SAOv3 ARP or hot-plugging features. Lepi Labs' first-hand DC34 announcement corroborates planned Friday and Saturday BadgeLife Village drops. This is a source-backed pre-event independent lighting SAO, not proof of final host interoperability, full SAOv3 implementation, firmware release, delivery, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

FirstBuild / GE Appliances Washer/Dryer Badge (DEF CON 34)

Pre-event FirstBuild / GE Appliances 100-free-badge washer/dryer motion giveaway project

FirstBuild's official DefCon34-Badge repository describes an Arduino-compatible FirstBuild / GE Appliances washer/dryer badge for DEF CON 34. Its README names a current production target of an STM32G031F8P6 with an MXC6655XA three-axis accelerometer and eight SK6805 side-emitting RGB LEDs, driving an infinity-mirror water effect that follows gravity. The repository publishes firmware, a schematic PDF, an MIT license for software and associated documentation, and a distribution guide that says the project is intended to be distributed as firmware installed on physical badges. A first-person r/Defcon post reviewed on 2026-08-05 says its public-account author is returning with the GE Appliances booth in IoT Village, has another 100 free badges to give away, and plans an unspecified number per day; it calls the item a cartoon UltraFast Washer/Dryer Combo with a motion-responsive infinity mirror. In a comment, the author says the artwork, PCB design, and software were done in-house at FirstBuild. That account statement does not independently establish the author's employment, formal FirstBuild or GE Appliances authority, official booth authorization, final stock, or completed handoff. GitHub still shows no release or tag, and the record remains a separate event-associated pre-event project, not the official DEF CON attendee credential or an image-reuse grant.

FloridaMan Party's official 2026 storefront offers a FloridaMan 2026 Badge for $90, currently marks it out of stock, and tells prospective attendees that it is no longer shipping and to come to DEF CON. The same official storefront calls FloridaMan 2026 the biggest Florida-themed party at DEF CON, says entry is badge-only for venue access, and says each badge unlocks a live hacking challenge with stages and a scoreboard. The official party page schedules the event for Thursday, August 6, 2026, 9:00 PM–1:00 AM PT in Las Vegas, with the location provided upon purchase. This is a source-backed pre-event party-access and challenge artifact, not evidence of an electronic badge, DEF CON's official Human badge, conference registration, completed shipment or handoff, final venue admission rules, released challenge software, or a rights-cleared badge image.

The public `claviger/gothcon-firmware` repository adds MicroPython firmware, KiCad schematic/PCB/Gerber material, GPIO mapping, pattern/palette controls, and ESP-NOW badge-to-badge contagion. The store explicitly says its SAO connectors are mirrored and not functional with a standard SAO. Pre-orders are closed and the store says badges will be sold at DEF CON; this remains a pre-event party-fundraiser record, not proof of final sales, delivery, party outcome, or official DEF CON credential status.

Pre-event independent two-object ESP32-S3 interaction badge project for DEF CON 34

Two contemporaneous project posts authored by the public Reddit account u/zer0patient and signed H4irl1n3 M0gg3r5 describe an independent planned DEF CON 34 Zombie Badge project. The later source explicitly describes two objects using ESP32-S3, IR, NFC, BLE, a buzzer, and a source-described transmission/counter relationship; it also announces a firmware-based, multi-stage CTF and an unreleased backend. It further describes crew-operated live transmission zones, fixed Cure Stations, hidden 3D-printed medkit props, and a separate brain-in-a-jar SAO. The earlier post calls the work the team's first year making badge or badges, says a second variant is part of the experience, and announces intended drop-based distribution. These are source-backed pre-event maker statements about a real planned artifact system, not proof of final manufactured variants, component selection, wireless behavior, game implementation, inventory, drops, event authorization, DEF CON organizer affiliation, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.

HOPE On Planet Earth's official 2600 store listing sold a $250 HOPE 26 In-Person Pass and said digital admission tickets would be generated asynchronously and emailed before the event; it also says they are non-refundable but transferable. The official HOPE home now says the August 14-16 New Yorker Hotel conference is history, but the reviewed event, wiki, schedule, and ticket pages do not identify a 2026 physical or electronic conference badge. This record therefore models the known digital admission-ticket identity artifact only, not a recurrence of the 2024 HOPE XV electronic badge, an issued event badge, a final attendee credential implementation, or a rights-cleared image.

Its commit-pinned source contains a project README, native KiCad board files, and a status document dated March 22, 2026 that still records design and prototype milestones rather than a shipped unit. Ham Radio Village's own page independently confirms its DEF CON 34 event in Las Vegas on August 6-9, 2026, but does not identify or endorse this project.
