The archived page says the redeem badge function is no longer available after the website was archived.

The badge workflow is historical; live redemption behavior should not be inferred from the archived page.

38C3 Hub Digital Badges note

digital badge classification · official Hub page · documented

The source describes Hub badges created by assemblies and grouped by category, not physical or electronic admission badges.

The catalogue models this as an official digital/community badge system and avoids hardware claims.

38C3 Hub Digital Badges note

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · needs licensed original replacement

No 38C3 Hub badge image is published because the recovered page is an archived catalogue and no reusable badge artwork or screenshot provenance has been cleared.

The record stays image-free rather than copying archived UI screenshots, logos, or unknown-rights badge icons.
