The Legend

Every map needs a legend. Here's exactly how acorns, levels, and badges work — real numbers, no mysteries.

First 500 — founder badge

The first 500 people to put real food on the map keep the badge (and their number) forever. Added a spot as a guest? Your number is waiting — it lands when you sign up.
