UPDATE: NEW BADGES, REBUILT LEVEL BAR & PROFILE OVERHAUL
Today was mostly about the parts of the site you look at rather than the parts you play. New badges, a level bar that actually tells you something, and a profile page that has been rebuilt from scratch.

Today was mostly about the parts of the site you look at rather than the parts you play. New badges, a level bar that actually tells you something, and a profile page that has been rebuilt from scratch.
NEW BADGE ARTWORK
- Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Vault+ Full all have new icons. They share one hexagonal frame and you read the rank off how many chevron slots are lit, so the three levels stay tellable apart even at 16 pixels.
- Level 1 · one slot lit, two still dark.
- Level 2 · two lit, brighter and cooler green so it never reads like Level 1.
- Level 3 · all three lit, with a gold halo outside the frame. The only green badge carrying gold, because it is the top of the ladder.
- Vault+ Full · gold instead of green, a vault dial instead of chevrons, and a slowly rotating ring.
- The empty slots are the point. A Level 1 badge shows you two unlit chevrons above it, so the badge itself tells you there is further to go.
- They respect your reduced motion setting. If your system asks for less animation, the glow and rotation stop.
THE LEVEL BAR NOW SHOWS WHAT YOU ARE WORKING TOWARDS
- Badge markers sit on the bar. Every level threshold is drawn as a marker showing the badge waiting there. Ones you have earned are lit, the ones ahead are dimmed and greyed out. Hover any of them for the name.
- It fills from empty when the page loads and pulses once you are within reach of the next level.
PROFILES REBUILT
- The header is no longer a pile-up. Avatar, name, group banners and the joined / last seen line used to fight for one cramped row. Each now has its own space.
- Badges get their own shelf rather than being squeezed in next to the join date, with a count that opens the full list.
- A new Vault Activity panel shows your Daily Bonus and Coin Miner progress on your profile:
- Day streak, vault level and total Vault shards earned.
- Blocks won, mining rigs owned and hacker level.
- It only appears if you actually play those, so it will not sit empty on new accounts.
- Anything with a question mark next to it explains itself on hover. Vault shards in particular is the total you have ever won, not your current balance.
- The stats row, the tabs and every button on the page have been restyled to sit on the same grid instead of each looking like it came from a different site.
BADGE LIST REDESIGNED
- Badges awarded to you now render as tiles, icon on top, name below, award date underneath.
- Badge descriptions are gone from the grid. Some of them carried their own formatting and were blowing the layout apart.
HELP PAGES
- Account Levels and Awards both show your live progress bar at the top, with the badge markers.
- The point requirements on the Account Levels page are read from the badges rather than typed into the page, so they can no longer go stale.
COMING NEXT
- Achievements for the Coin Miner and the Daily Bonus. Over the next few days we will be adding awards you earn from actually playing them, mining streaks, blocks won, vault levels, skill trees, the lot.
- The groundwork went in today, so these will slot straight into the level bar and your profile as they land.
