Steps to Get the Doxx Badge​

There are two main paths to obtaining the Doxx badge. Both start with KYC:

Option 1: Video AMA (Ask Me Anything)

  1. ✅ Complete PinkSale KYC: Ensure your project's KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process with PinkSale is successfully completed first.
  2. 🎥 Record & Upload Video AMA:
    • Host an AMA session with your community where you answer their questions.
    • Record this session.
    • Upload the video to YouTube.
    • Crucially: The video must remain publicly accessible and clearly show community interaction (e.g., questions being asked/shown).
    • Need an example? Check this out: Example Video AMA
  3. 📢 Share with Your Community: Post the link to your public YouTube AMA video in your community channels (like Telegram, Discord, etc.).
  4. ✉️ Submit to PinkSale: Provide the link to your public YouTube video through your private PinkSale support group.

Option 2: LinkedIn Profile

  1. ✅ Complete PinkSale KYC: Just like the video option, make sure your PinkSale KYC is done.
  2. 🔗 Provide LinkedIn Profile: Submit the link to your professional LinkedIn profile. This should presumably be done via your private PinkSale support group as well (ensure your profile accurately represents you).

Verification: Once you've submitted either your video link or LinkedIn profile link via your support group, PinkSale staff will review it and verify it against your completed KYC information. If everything matches and meets the requirements, the Doxx badge will be added to your project!

Trouble shooting​

Having trouble getting your Doxx Badge? Here are some common issues:

  • Q: I haven't completed or passed KYC yet. Can I still apply for the Doxx Badge?
    • A: No, completing the PinkSale KYC process is a mandatory first step for either the video AMA or LinkedIn profile method. You must have approved KYC before submitting for the Doxx badge.
  • Q: My YouTube video AMA is set to 'Unlisted' or 'Private'. Is that acceptable?
    • A: No, the requirement is that the video must be public on YouTube for verification and transparency purposes. You'll need to change the visibility setting to 'Public'.
  • Q: I submitted my LinkedIn profile, but it's private or doesn't clearly identify me. Will that work?
    • A: Likely not. Similar to the public video requirement, your LinkedIn profile probably needs to be sufficiently public and professional to allow PinkSale staff to verify your identity against your KYC information. Ensure it clearly represents you.
  • Q: I don't know where my 'private PinkSale support group' is. How do I submit my link?
    • A: If you haven't been added to a private support group yet, or can't find it, you should contact the main PinkSale support team. Request that they create your dedicated private group for your project. This group is essential, as it's where you'll submit materials like your Doxx badge link and handle project-specific communications. You can reach out via the official channels, such as the Telegram contact provided for badge inquiries (https://t.me/babypinkpink) or other methods listed on the PinkSale website, to get your group set up.
  • Q: How long does it take to get the badge after submission?
    • A: Verification times can vary depending on the PinkSale team's workload. Allow some time for the review process. If it takes unusually long, you could follow up politely in your support group.
  • Q: Can I use Vimeo, Rumble, or another video platform instead of YouTube for my AMA?
    • A: The documentation specifically mentions YouTube. It's best to stick to YouTube to ensure compliance with the requirements. If you strongly prefer another platform, you should confirm its acceptability with the PinkSale team via your support group first.
