Microsoft has collaborated with blockchain games platform Enjin to create a series of reward collectible badges to recognize Azure cloud community contributors as Azure Heroes. The project is currently in pilot mode in some Western European markets. Each reward badge – actually a cartoon badger – is a non-fungible or unique digital token on the public Ethereum blockchain.
