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.
Source-backed CH32V003 student-bootcamp electronic badge
Hackin7's public project page identifies a deployed electronic PCB Hackbadge created for Greycademy 2026.

An IEEE club-partner page corroborates the January 10, 2026 Dhaka on-site final and Information Security Conference. This source-backed record models a ticket-tier access identity artifact only; it does not identify a physical form, electronics, access-control mechanism, issued quantity, or completed handoff.
Maker-documented RP2040 e-ink/NFC game-jam badge
Kai Pereira's public archive identifies these as Overglade hackathon badges designed for the completed Singapore game jam. The device has an RP2040, passive NFC, an onboard e-ink driver, and an exposed ticket-shaped PCB with public KiCad and MicroPython source trees. Official Hack Club pages establish the event, but not a badge entitlement or all-recipient allocation.
Philippine planned electronic badge and Type-B fallback
The ROOTCON 20 con-goers guide documents a planned September 2026 badge distribution model: electronic badges distributed first-come during on-site check-in while supplies last, with a simpler Type-B non-electronic badge fallback.
Maker-documented ATtiny85 Hardware Village CTF badge soldered in Goa
The official Seasides and HW101 pages establish a Goa Hardware Hacking Village where people soldered take-home badges and worked on a hidden hardware/firmware challenge. A public project-owner archive calls a concrete board the Seasides 2026 Roulette Badge, says that more than 300 participants assembled it live, and publishes its C firmware, schematic, and Gerbers. The archive makes this a source-backed maker-documented instance of the village badge, but the official event pages do not independently name the Roulette design or confirm that every village or conference badge used that exact final configuration.
South Korean closed-conference entry badge availability record
Zer0Con's official 2026 page places the closed vulnerability-research conference at Fairmont Ambassador Hotel Seoul on April 2-3, 2026, and POC Security's official update trail described Zer0Con2026 registration as limited to 120 seats.
