BornHack 2026 Badge
note
The BornHack 2026 visual now uses an optimized WebP derived from the official `imgs/badge-front.png` Cyber Ægg front render in the MIT-licensed Ranzbak/bornhack2026-hardware Codeberg repository.
The public badge page, image archive, and API point at a licensed upstream repository render with source URL, MIT license basis, attribution, and processing notes while avoiding generated, placeholder, social, or uncleared imagery. The render is a pre-event prototype illustration, not a shipped-product photograph, and the record keeps that distinction explicit.
BornHack 2026 Badge
note
BornHack 2026 starts on July 15, 2026, so the current Badge.Team docs are pre-event even though they now document Cyber Ægg hardware, software concepts, source links, and sponsors in detail.
The entry can describe planned public specs, but must be revisited after the badge ships and attendees document field behavior, production errata, app maturity, and distribution outcomes.
